James Tavernier is back in action for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.
Rangers have definitely missed James Tavernier.
The usually-reliable Gers captain hasn’t kicked a ball this calendar yet due to injury.
Jon Flanagan has been covering the Rangers right-back in recent weeks but the former Liverpool defender hasn’t been a brilliant replacement.
Last week, for instance, Steven Gerrard hooked him at half-time in the defeat by Hearts, replacing him with Matt Polster.
Rangers are back in action against Aberdeen tomorrow, though, and Gerrard has confirmed that the 28-year-old will be named in the squad.
Here’s how fans of the Ibrox side reacted to the development:
Rangers, who have a game in hand, slipped five points behind Premiership leaders Celtic last week by losing at Tynecastle.
But getting Tavernier back fit again is definitely a big boost with regards to their title prospects.
The light Blues haven’t always been brilliant with Tavernier in the first XI this season, but Gerrard’s side are clearly a stronger team with him than they are without him. Rangers have only lost two league games all season and one of them was without their English skipper.
