Rangers secured all three points and a clean sheet at Livingston in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

Kenny Miller praised the performance of James Tavernier as Rangers secured a 2-0 win over Livingston in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

The BBC Sport pundit suggested that Tavernier was getting a ‘hard time’ by supporters during these last few months, but he was ‘back at it’ against Livingston.

Tavernier’s performances have been coming under stick recently, with his record from the penalty spot also not helping his cause on the pitch.

But on Sunday, Miller was impressed with what he saw from the senior Rangers man as he thought that he was solid from both a defensive and attacking standpoint.

“I think James Tavernier has been back at it,” Miller told BBC Sport. “He’s had a hard time the last couple of months but he’s had a really solid game. His defending and deliveries have been great.”

James Tavernier of Rangers is seen during the Betfred League Cup semi final between Rangers and Heart of Midlothian at Hampden Park on November 03, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

It was a pretty comfortable win for Steven Gerrard’s side, who have ended a really good week, which also included them marching on in the Europa League.

The players are now off on national duty, as Gerrard will be hoping those away with their countries will come back without any injury concerns.

There was recently a problem with Ryan Jack when he returned from Scotland duty injured, as Gerrard himself will no doubt be resting up because a pretty hectic and important festive period is coming up.
