Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers picked up a 2-0 victory yesterday.
Glasgow Rangers defender James Tavernier has revealed to the Scottish Sun that John Greig joked with him after the Light Blues’ latest win over Aberdeen.
Tavernier scored twice from the spot as Rangers beat the Dons 2-0 at Ibrox yesterday.
The right-back now holds the record for the most goals scored by a Rangers defender in a single season, after eclipsing Greig’s tally of 14.
But the Rangers legend was not bothered about losing his record after the contest.
“I had a joke with John after the game! It’s been great,” Tavernier said.
“In the Championship season I broke John Greig’s record and I gave him some stick.
“But he gave me some back saying it was only the Championship! I am happy to remind him I’ve broken it again. But Greigy just told me he didn’t take penalties!
“So I’m getting stick again. We always chat after games and he’s the first to congratulate me.”
Tavernier now has 16 goals for Rangers this season, which is a quite remarkable feat for a defender.
The attacking full-back is deadly from 12 yards, and his penalty taking ability certainly helps boast his goalscoring total.
Rangers have now won four matches on the spin to ensure that they will be claiming second spot in the Scottish Premiership this season.
Rangers are next in action at the weekend when they take on Hibernian at Ibrox.
