Being a private guy who shy's away from social media and the like and having only come back to online posting after an 8 year break I just want to say, I'm going to get a good Rangers artist to make me a brilliant print of this picture. For me this picture carries so much.
Like many I'm sure, life hasn't been the easiest for me in the last few years. Many a trial and many a demon slayed. Things started looking up around the same time this certain Wingback turned up chewing gum and kicking arse up and down the leagues.
With a name like Captain James Tavernier, he should be galivanting around the galaxy in a spaceship with swash buckling swagger with a name like that FFS. But looking at that picture makes me incredibly emotional. Not something that happens with me all that often, I usually chin it and move forward.
When I consider the weight that armband carries, the weight that jersey carries, the weight that number carries ( worn by the very man who was in the front line of a march to save our club ) and the weight that trophy carries along with the double weight it carries being the 10iar killer. Not to mention the weight we the people put on our players...
To see our Captain walk away with the trophy in hand after what has been an amazing story and a sweet ending to a horrific 10 year nightmare, fills me with immense pride for our club/fans and our Captain.
I don't do social media, but I hope he knows how much he is loved and respected as our Captain. I won't list the legends I grew up watching and wondering how they'll be replaced. But Captain James Tavernier, you are, regardless of if you want to believe or admit it, a living legend of our club, by God you have earned it. Any man strong enough to withstand the scolding heat of the Govan furnace is a legend in my eyes, I've seen many a player melt in my time.
Maybe I'll get my big print signed one day who knows, but know this, your journey has been immensely inspiring to me and I cannot stop smiling for you this weekend. A gift and a blessing of a player to our cause and a gentleman to.
Thank you to you and all the lads including the gaffer. I promised myself I'd never be the emotional type as I got older, but %^*& me it's been a ride.
Thank you
