After dropping points in the league against Aberdeen, Rangers fans will want to see their team respond in expert fashion against their rivals in the Scottish League Cup Final on Sunday. The two teams have been going pretty much neck and neck for the majority of the season (Sky Sports). However, when captain James Tavernier spoke in a pre-match press conference, supporters’ heads dropped.

“Wednesday was disappointing, that game is done now and we have to defend for our lives and give everything on Sunday,” said Tavernier (Rangers).

While the words were meant to encourage fans, it made them begin to worry about how Steven Gerrard might approach this game. They don’t want to see the team sit back and defend. Instead, they want the team attack Celtic from the first whistle.

Do you think Rangers should go all out attack in the Scottish League Cup Final?

Yes

Yes

No

No

One fan encourages the players to be brave. If they play their natural game he thinks the Gers will have a much better chance.


What do we think?

After a poor defensive display against Aberdeen, it is likely that Tavernier was only suggesting that the backline must improve on the weekend. There is still every chance that Gerrard and his side come out guns blazing. If they do, it will make for an extremely entertaining match.
