Rangers captain James Tavernier has told how Ibrox icon John Greig was waiting to speak to him immediately after the 2-0 win over Aberdeen – and admits he was “happy” to break the club’s record for goals by a defender.
Tav had previously broken the record while the club was in the Championship but admitted that he took stick from Greig since it wasn’t in the top flight.
“To break my record means a lot. John Greig always gave me stick that my record was set in the Championship so now I am happy to break it again in the Premiership,”
Tavernier told RangersTV.
“It means a lot for him to be here to speak to me straight after the game, we always have a little chat on a matchday and he always gives me stick. To come from him and for him to sort of praise me means a lot!”
The Gers skipper has been in fantastic form this season and will be a massive part of Steven Gerrard’s plans for next season.
