At the start of his career in Scotland, he was delivering crosses with pinpoint accuracy on a regular basis, but that hasn’t been happening for the last several months.
It’s good to see the Brazilian back in form and hopefully that continues into next season too.
Tavernier continues to let Gers down
Tavernier, the right-back, captaining Rangers, once again had an evening to forget.
He was off the pace defensively, losing most of his duels in the air and on the ground, proving to be a liability.
Known for his offensive prowess, he attempted nine crosses in the first 80 minutes and failed to successfully complete even a single one of them.
He was also unsuccessful with both of his dribble attempts in what was arguably a shameful display.
