Richard Foster stunned by James Tavernier in Rangers win v Motherwell
Rangers returned to winning ways in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon, leaving Motherwell with a 6-1 win.
The Bears did fall behind at Fir Park, but a goal from James Tavernier at the end of the first half was the catalyst to kick on.
The skipper volleyed home after a deep cross, and Richard Foster was blown away with what he saw from the right-back.
Speaking on BBC Sportscene, Foster was simply stunned by the technique on show from the skipper at Fir Park.
“Two minutes of madness,” he said.
“Good quality from Rangers, excellent kind of overhit cross from Bassey but excellent from Tavernier.
“The connection he gets on the ball is something special – it’s a fabulous hit.”
Incredible.
While he may be disappointing defensively in recent weeks, Tavernier has stepped up with some really important goals at the other end of the pitch.
After scoring the equaliser against Aberdeen in midweek, he fired home the leveller here too in fantastic fashion.
We find it hard to imagine anyone else in the squad having that sort of technique to control the ball on the volley so easily and find the bottom corner.
Tavernier is facing big pressure from Nathan Patterson at right-back, but if he continues to step up and provide these huge moments, it’s hard to imagine his spot in the side changing.
This was a huge win at Fir Park, and hopefully, it can act as something that can finally kickstart our season properly, which feels strange to say given the fact we are sat top of the table.
