There really is some mince being talked on this thread about Tavernier as a Captain and particularly comparing him to Barry Ferguson.
Completely pointless even starting any comparison with the likes of Richard Gough for that matter.
Frankly, Tavernier is the worst Rangers Captain since Craig Paterson in the early 1980’s and in fact he is never Captain material in a million years.
He is excellent on the overlap and his delivery is second to none but he is a liability as a defender too. Two weeks ago Tavernier was at fault for two of the three goals against Hibs which he was likewise 5 and a half years previously in 2016 in the Scottish Cup Final.
The next match against Sparta Prague they played poorly but still missed two sitters at which Tavernier was again at fault. This is time and time again he is at fault and gets away very lightly with our support because of his forward qualities.
Very simply he cannot defend and is not a leader.
In addition, if we had Ferguson in our team now then we wouldn’t be struggling against the likes of Hibs at Easter Road and others that get in our faces.
Not what some want to hear but it is fact.
