The former Cremonese man has had plenty of doubters this season but he could have the last laugh.
When Philippe Clement talks about his players writing their own stories, Lee McCulloch knows exactly what he means. The former Rangers skipper was on the Ibrox books at time when Gers were penning a celebrated trilogy with three straight titles during Walter Smith’s second stint as Light Blues boss.
While much was expected of the Enniskillen ace when he joined Gers in a £3million move from Burnley in 2008, his Ibrox tale was one of ups and downs, with those end-of-season high-points often balanced out against underwhelming displays at other times. However, having seen Lafferty go from understudy to main attraction, McCulloch won’t be surprised to see the Nigeria international hush his doubters by providing Rangers with a happy ending as this year’s Premiership race enters its final chapter.
“But it’s the nature of the beast – and Celtic’s the same, there’s no getting away from it. Dessers is scoring goals, he’s scored goals this season. He’s done well, especially so at times in Europe. The Viaplay Cup Tavernier lifted in December was just the third major trinket of his Gers career despite having spent almost nine years in Glasgow. And there’s a sizeable chunk of the Rangers support who claim Tavernier may need to get his hands on this year’s two remaining prizes if he’s to really deserve having his name etched on the club’s honour roll alongside Ibrox’s greatest servants.
