Roofe has since joined the Championship side as John Eustace’s first signing, putting pen to paper on a deal until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Tavernier, 33, spent four seasons with Roofe at Ibrox, winning the Scottish Premier League title under Steven Gerrard in 2020-21.
revealed that Gerrard would be 'very much open to a Rangers return' with Philippe Clement’s future still up in the air.
The prolific right-back has been key for Rangers so far this season, starting 33 of his 37 games across all competitions, scoring four goals, and providing ten assists in his 2983 minutes of action.
Tavernier took to Instagram to wish his former teammate and friend well on his new adventure at Derby, sharing an image of his announcement.
