Rangers were awarded two spot-kicks against Livingston with Tavernier converting the second.
Philippe Clement admits James Tavernier gets a 'lot of penalties' to score for Rangers but that he hopes his side don't come back from the international break in bad nick.
The Belgian extended his unbeaten run in the Ibrox dugout to seven games after a drama-filled afternoon in West Lothian that saw Rangers awarded two penalties and having two goals chopped off. It was much-criticised Cyriel Dessers who opened the floodgates on the plastic pitch of the Tony Macaroni before Tavernier sealed the deal with ten to play after getting a second bite at the penalty cherry following his miss in the first half.
The Rangers boss also revealed he's not a fan of the upcoming international break because it means his squad can lose sight of the 'story' they are building in Glasgow. He told Rangers TV on Tavernier's penalties: "Yes he scored from the penalty spot but he gets a lot of penalties these days so I hope in the future we will score even more."
On the international break: "I'm not a favourite of that because I want to keep my team together, with the internationals they go away in to a different environment, with other ideas. When they come back you need to bring them back in to the story, but its also a moment for players can train good and get a rest in between because if you play every three days in nine or ten months, the body dies.
