James Tavernier produced an excellent one-word tweet in response to the crowd trouble during Rangers’ win on Sunday, during which a pie appeared to be thrown from the stand towards the Gers right-back.

Steven Gerrard’s side strolled to a 3-0 win at Motherwell, with Scott Arfield bagging a hat-trick. Rangers looked cagey early on, but they managed to weather the storm to produce an excellent display.

Unfortunately, there was one moment which threatened to overshadow the win and that was when Tavernier went to take a throw-in during the first-half. A lighter was removed by the referee before a pie appeared to follow it onto the pitch from the stand.

And Tavernier decided to use the incident to inspire a superb one-word message to the Motherwell supporters on social media following Rangers’ emphatic victory.

Here is what Tavernier posted…

Unfortunately, there have been numerous occasions where the crowd have crossed the line in recent weeks, with Tavernier also involved in an incident during the Gers’ clash with Hibernian last month.

But Gerrard will feel that his side responded in the best way possible by producing a superb display that has consolidated their position in second place in the Scottish Premiership heading into the split.
