Ibrox View: Rangers star confirms legendary status after ‘incredible’ feat v St Johnstone

A 3-0 win against St Johnstone on Sunday (18 February) means the Gers are now first place in the Scottish Premiership, two points

ahead of fierce rivals Celtic. And one key player in both the lengthy battle over the years and the win against the Saints is captain

fantastic James Tavernier. The right-back has stuck with the club through thick and thin, and proved his worth once more with a

double in Perth on Sunday. Both goals came late on from the penalty spot after recent recruit Mohamed Diomande fired in the opener.

It was a superb moment from the January arrival,but it is Tavernier who deserves most of the spotlight, with the defender now on 120 Rangers goals.

Surprisingly, the skipper now ranks third for the Ibrox team’s goals scored this century, trailing only Alfredo Morelos (124) and Kris

Boyd (138). Squawka [18 February] called the accomplishment “incredible.”

Even if a significant percentage of those goals have come from penalties, Tavernier still needs to score those kicks—many of which are important ones.

Along with several goals from open play, the full-back has also scored a lot of free kicks over the years.

He has played a crucial role in getting Rangers back to their very best, although the hard work has only just begun, with Celtic certain

to want their top spot back as soon as possible.

In other Rangers news, Hugh Keevins has been wowed by an “invaluable” Gers man after an “unfathomable” turn of events at Ibrox.
