James Tavernier blasted on BBC Sportsound after what he did in Rangers win v Dundee

James Tavernier was blasted by Alasdair Lamont after a poor pass to Jack Butland in their 3-0 win over Dundee at Ibrox on Saturday.

 

Tavernier had one of his best games of the season against Dundee and even managed to bag his first goal of the campaign.

However, as has been the case with most of his outings this term, he made the odd mistake here and there with one almost leading to a goal.

 

Speaking live on BBC Sportsound, (21 September, 7:06 pm), the BBC Scotland broadcaster questioned what the Rangers captain was trying to achieve with his pass.

 

“What was James Tavernier thinking?” Lamont said.

He couldn’t have looked at all as he played the ball back and Tiffoney must have thought he was about to reduce the arrears.”

 

Rangers need to extend their winning run

The 2024/25 summer transfer window was certainly an interesting one for Rangers. The club offloaded many of their old stars who were on high wages and swapped them out for younger models such as Connor Barron and Jefte.

While the aforementioned pair have settled into the squad quite well, others are yet to do the same.

Tavernier’s future was also one of the biggest stories that hung over Ibrox during the window.

 

The Englishman was being targeted by a whole host of clubs [HITC, 6 September] even while England’s transfer deadline had already passed.

There were even murmurs of Cyrus Christie being linked with a move to Ibrox [HITC, 7 September] as a potential replacement for the Gers captain.

 

While the club haven’t had the best of starts, they might now be able to extend their run of form and their winning streak to help bolster their chances of dethroning Celtic by the end of the term.
