The Gers captain has taken some stick for his display in the shock 3-2 defeat in Dingwall last Sunday.
Neil McCann has leapt to the defence of Rangers skipper James Tavernier in the aftermath of the dismal loss against Ross County last weekend.
Ahead of Wednesday night's game in hand away to Dundee, boss Philippe Clement conceded that his skipper did not have a good afternoon in Dingwall, but pointed out that very few in Rangers colours did. Pundit and ex-Gers winger McCann has now thrown his support behind the former Newcastle United youngster and insists he only seems to get flak when the Ibrox side are on the end of a disappointing result.
"I understand the frustrations but you have to look at what he offers going forward. I don't think his strong suit is one v one defending but I still think he is a good defender." "Absolutely not", he stated. "I understand that pressure having played there as a player and can only imagine how intense it must be as a manager. I don't think he is losing the head. People can look into things that he has said but I think he has remained pretty consistent."
