Rangers v Aberdeen: BBC journalist blown away by what James Tavernier did in Viaplay Cup final
BBC journalist Nick McPheat has made an admission about James Tavernier after Rangers secured a 1-0 victory against Aberdeen.
Gers secured a 1-0 victory courtesy of a goal from James Tavernier – the club captain scoring the winning strike.
It is the first trophy won in the Philippe Clement era, who’s enjoyed a good start to life at Ibrox.
McPheat told the BBC at 16:41, “Who else? The criticism this guy comes in for is absolutely ridiculous. Time and again, James Tavernier is there for Rangers.”
Phenomenal
Tavernier’s ability to deliver crucial moments for Rangers, exemplified by his back-post winner in the Scottish League Cup final, continues to defy his critics.
Despite the victory and Tavernier’s decisive contribution, some doubters persist in finding aspects to criticise about his performance.
While Tavernier’s goal secured Rangers’ first Scottish League Cup in over 12 years and showcased his knack for stepping up in important situations, they prefer talking about other aspects of his game, such as defensive capabilities or positional play.
The Englishman’s resilience and ability to consistently contribute, especially in key moments, highlight his value to the team.
He is a leader in the dressing room and on Sunday, he led by example by finding the back of the net and he undoubtedly deserves this success.
Gers had not won this trophy for 12 years so it’s going to be such a sweet celebration to end the week, more so given Celtic’s recent displays.
In other Rangers news, the club may now rekindle the transfer interest in a ‘Dynamic’ central midfielder amid a recent behind-the-scenes coup.
