‘Getting silly now’ – Championship star blown away by Rangers mainstay this season
Rangers were untouchable on Sunday as they destroyed Hamilton 8-0 at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon.
When there are goals, James Tavernier is usually involved as the whole squad shared the eight between themselves to extend their lead.
Tavernier scored twice, as well as Kemar Roofe, Joe Aribo, Scott Arfield and Brandon Barker finding the back of the net.
The Bears skipper shared a post on his personal Instagram account after the game, congratulating his squad on another professional display.
Middlesbrough star and brother of Tavernier, Marcus has responded to the post, reacting to his goalscoring antics yet again.
“Getting silly now,” he wrote.
Getting silly is the perfect way to describe it, we can’t think of many other defenders that have the same record as Tavernier does in the final third.
The right-back is currently the top-scorer in the Scottish League, with eight in 14 – as well as six assists, making him the deadliest player around right now.
Steven Gerrard has spoken out on the achievements of Tavernier before, and it appears that he is picking up new accolades every single week.
As well as finding the back of the net with ease, the skipper will likely be more delighted with his side’s clean sheet record, with the Bears only conceding three goals this season.
Alfredo Morelos has been the main-man at Ibrox for many years now, but yet Tavernier has a 20% better goal conversion rate according to BBC.
There aren’t any complaints from us, and hopefully, he can continue firing.
