Barring any late unexpected developments before the transfer window shuts Tav will play his 38th Old Firm game
After a summer when it looked as if his Rangers career may be coming to an end, James Tavernier will be front and centre for the club again when they lock horns with Celtic for the first time this season.
“Knowing James quite well, I don’t think the noise around him will affect him. I think of everything he brings to the team as captain. He takes a lot of flak at times but has been able to deal with it.” “When Sterling signed, I thought right-back was his position and he was being brought in to challenge him or maybe even replace him in the event he moved on.
“James was Rangers’ top scorer and contributed plenty of assists as well. You expect higher numbers, double figures in goals and assists, from your midfield and creative players. That’s what Clement will be looking for this season.
