Rangers’ manager answers to “silly stories” about Ibrox star

Philippe Clement has mocked “silly stories” about Rangers captain James Tavernier and his visit to Five Guys after the spectacular victory over Hearts.

The Belgian manager spoke after Rangers defeated the Jambos 5-0 at Ibrox to go five points clear in the Scottish Premiership title chase.

Rangers captain James Tavernier once again played an important part in the game, with goals from Mohamed Diomande, Oscar Cortes, Cyriel Dessers twice, and Fabio Silva sending a strong title message.

However, it was Philippe Clement’s comments about the Ibrox skipper’s return to full-time football that turned a few heads, leaving one commentator feeling embarrassed.

Philippe Clement comments on James Tavernier’s Five Guys assertions

Following Rangers’ 3-0 win over St Johnstone last weekend, controversial pundit Gordon Parks took a cheap swipe at skipper James Tavernier.

Specifically, the Daily Record writer stated that Tav’s “gravitas” was unsuitable for a Rangers captain, citing a post-match contact with the Ibrox skipper at burger restaurant Five Guys as an example.

When asked about the rumors after the game, Philippe Clement strongly dismissed them as “silly stories,” noting that James Tavernier was with the team.
