“It’s crazy” – Rangers boss heaps praise on ‘quality’ captain and reveals ‘honest’ chats with Tavernier

After leading the Scottish Premiership for the first time during his tenure with a convincing 3-0 victory over St Johnstone at

Thanks to two late penalties from James Tavernier and an incredible

first-half goal from Mohamed Diomonde, the Rangers manager

saw his team take full advantage of Celtic’s error against Kilmarnock to go two points clear at the top of the league.

The Belgian was thrilled with his team’s performance in Perth.

“It was a really strong performance today, for sure in these circumstances.

It was not a surface where we can our normal football, what

we train every day, what the lads have shown over the last weeks and months – so we had to adapt.

The team is ready for that now, we had a few practice games in that way, like Dumbarton, St Mirren, in really difficult circumstances

and they understand now they need to play a different kind of football

in those moments if you have that kind of surface and we did it in a really good way today” explained Clement.

The 49-year-old Rangers manager cited the match as crucial to the development of his team and gave his captain extra credit after

Tavernier scored the club’s 120th goal in Perth.

“There was never any uncertainty in the game—we played a dominant effort. We didn’t have a shot on target, in my opinion. We could

have scored more, but we’re incredibly happy with our three goals.

The crew is developing, as you can see. The newly arrived players impressed with their extra minutes.

“Tavernier’s 120 goals is absurd.” I’m not sure whether a defender in Scotland or Europe has ever scored more goals. He is very

talented in that regard, and in addition to penalties, he has scored significant goals in other contexts, such as the cup final.

Additionally, he is playing excellent defense since, in my opinion, he is a defender rather than an attacker. “Unlike everyone else, he is

not preoccupied with statistics to benefit himself, but rather the team,” the Belgian stated.

In addition, Clement disclosed why his teammates are sharing the captain’s leadership responsibilities among themselves and how a

conversation he had with the Rangers captain upon joining the team had a crucial role in the team’s incredible comeback.

“I am satisfied with Tav; he was the first player I spoke with. It’s common to chat first when you enter a building and realize there is a

fire. I wanted to gather as much information as possible to figure out how to put out the fire as quickly as possible.

with the captain. He was really open and honest about all things in the club, dressing room and himself also. He feels good also, there

is a divided leadership with several players who take responsibility but they have a really good connection together. If you’re all alone

you can be alone in the desert, now he has a few lieutenants around him

that help also and are very influential. It’s important to have that.

“It is impossible to talk about a beginning since it was the beginning when I compare how they are performing now to how they were

four months ago. Plenty of opportunity exists for advancement. It’s evident that, during the past few months, they have all grown.

They put a lot in themselves and the company, and we, together with all of the staff, will invest a lot in them because

Everyone is extremely dedicated every day. For the first time in my four months on the team, I didn’t have any issues with it; I never

had to slap someone for being unmotivated or unfocused. The manager of the Gers continued,

“It’s a really important thing, but they all feel like they are in a really special story and it can be a really special one.”
