Rangers were 1-0 winners at St Johnstone in the Premiership on Sunday - with Jason Holt's own goal separating the two sides at McDiarmid Park
James Tavernier may have missed out on being credited with Rangers’ winner in Perth but his boss believes the Ibrox skipper deserves all the plaudits.
Clement may have got it wrong suggesting the goal belonged to his captain but he was right to heap praise on the defender. The Belgian boss said: “Yeah, he can get all the credit today, for sure. Tavernier might not have enjoyed being dropped lately but Clement is certain it will benefit him in the long run. He added: “I’m convinced about that, yes. Is the player happy with that? Probably not.
Also returning to the Rangers XI was Hagi. The Romanian’s last start came as Gers closed out the 2022/23 season with a 3-0 win at St Mirren. “So that's also an important one for offensive players to get stats. It was positive. But I don't give chances out of nothing, it's because of what he's been doing in the training and the way he came in against Dundee United.
“No, it's important because we have every three days game. So you need some freshness to do all the work, to be decisive.
