It was a wonderful strike from the 31-year-old, who carried the ball into the County half and then fired home into the top-left corner from 25 yards.

Ferguson said: “Tavernier’s stats are unbelievable. At times he can be suspect at the back, but going forward he is wonderful.”
Tavernier is one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership and has been superb for Rangers over the years.
The 31-year-old has been on the books of Rangers since 2015 and has developed into an important source of goals for the Gers.
The former Newcastle United player scored 16 goals and gave nine assists in 38 Scottish Premiership matches for Rangers last season.
Back in 2021-22, Tavernier scored six goals and provided 12 assists in 31 league matches for the Gers.
