Pundit issues James Tavernier Rangers exit admission after Viaplay Cup win v Aberdeen
Andy Halliday has shared the scenario that would’ve seen James Tavernier leave Rangers as he discussed his goal in the final v Aberdeen.
Gers won the league cup for the first time in 12 years and it was the Englishman scoring the winning goal for them.
They won it by a 1-0 scoreline and there were some critics bringing up the defensive side of his game.
Halliday told Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, “People need to realise if James Tavernier was as good defensively as he was going forward, he wouldn’t be at Rangers. It’s simple as that. Such is his output going forward. That for me, yesterday, shows why he is a captain as that’s another big moment”.
Spot on
Tavernier’s match-winning goal in the Scottish League Cup final against Aberdeen showcased the captain’s invaluable contribution to the team.
Despite facing occasional criticism, the Englishman’s ability to deliver crucial moments and offensive prowess make him a linchpin for Rangers.
While some may highlight aspects of Tavernier’s defensive play, his offensive impact cannot be overstated.
The Englishman consistently steps up in pivotal situations, bailing the club out with goals and decisive plays.
His leadership qualities extend beyond the pitch, setting an example for the team.
Tavernier’s resilience and knack for contributing in key moments underscore his significance to Rangers.
Halliday is right, a top Premier League or European side would’ve been all over Tavernier if he was as good defensively and Gers are fortunate to have retained his services for so long.
