Rangers: Fans unhappy with James Tavernier news
Glasgow Rangers fans are worried ahead of their Europa League clash against Royal Antwerp on Thursday after it was revealed by The Daily Mail (via The Daily Record) that captain James Tavernier picked up a knock in training.
So far this campaign, Tavernier has been in stunning form. Despite being a right-back, he is the side’s top goalscorer with 17 strikes in all competitions, while he has still found time to provide a huge 15 assists (Transfermarkt). Not only that, he has been part of a side that has conceded just eight goals in 29 Premiership matches (BBC).
Can Rangers beat Antwerp without Tavernier?
Yes
No
Now, though, it has been revealed that the Gers could be without the 29-year-old for their round of 32 European tie, with the report adding that Ryan Jack could slot into the back four in Tavernier’s potential absence.
The Gers fans are far from happy with this news, and they took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts on the matter.
