Tavernier and his Rangers team-mates were swiftly back into action on Boxing Day as Steven Gerrard’s team welcomed Kilmarnock to Ibrox.
On Sunday December 29th, their final fixture of 2019 is a crucial top of the table Premiership clash away to Glasgow rivals and current league leaders Celtic, whom the ‘Gers defeated in a festive fixture at Ibrox 12 months ago for their first derby triumph in 13 attempts (as per Sky Sports).
Tavernier has been a core presence in Gerrard’s squad this season, being their second-most used player in the 2019/20 campaign to date (as per TransferMarkt).
These Rangers fans on Twitter returned festive wishes to the club captain and hope that the final few days of 2019 will be even merrier than their Christmas Day:
Merry Christmas captain – let’s make the 29th Merrier!
