Glasgow Rangers picked up a famous 1-0 victory over their rivals at Ibrox at the weekend.
Marcus Tavernier has sent brother James Tavernier a message on Twitter after the latter captained Rangers to their first Old Firm win in the league since 2012 at the weekend.
Steven Gerrard’s side appear to have put Celtic on alert by claiming a 1-0 win against the Hoops at Ibrox on Saturday. Ryan Jack scored the decisive goal in a game that Rangers dominated.
It was a stunning performance from the Gers who have rarely come close to ending that wait for a win in previous meetings. Even in the games that they have drawn, they have often looked to frustrate their opponents or relied on a superb goalkeeping display to keep them in it.
But it was Celtic who needed heroics from their stopper on Saturday. Craig Gordon produced a number of fantastic stops to keep the scoreline down as Rangers looked a class apart.
Tavernier was one of a number of players who were brilliant on the day. The right-back kept Scott Sinclair incredibly quiet and still managed to provide an attacking threat, linking up superbly with Daniel Candeias throughout the game.
It was arguably one of Tavernier’s best ever performances for the Gers, particularly since he took the captain’s armband, and his brother sent him a message on social media to congratulate him on the victory.
