Rangers fans have raved about James Tavernier after the Gers skipper scored his tenth goal of the season against Kilmarnock on Sunday.
Rangers extended their winning run to nine matches and kept their sixth consecutive clean sheet with a 1-0 triumph at Rugby Park.
The only goal of the game came after just 19 minutes, with Tavernier expertly converting from the spot following a Ross Millen handball in the area.
It wasn’t a vintage display from Steven Gerrard’s side, but his skipper stood up once again with a match-winning contribution.
Tav has played almost every minute of Rangers’ first 13 league fixtures this season and he has led by example throughout.
The right-back, who turned 29 on Saturday, fizzed cross after cross into the Killie box during the first half and bombed up and down the flank throughout.
He was tested defensively at times in the second period, but he mopped up well and helped to secure another clean sheet.
Tavernier’s individual statistics are outstanding for a full-back. From 18 appearances in all competitions, he’s now contributed to 15 shutouts, scored ten goals and notched six assists.
The Englishman is silencing his critics and plenty of Bears took to social media to praise him.
