Rangers fans may have mixed emotions after the club’s 2-0 win over Motherwell on the weekend (BBC). Despite taking home all three points, the supporters will have a sour taste in their mouth after seeing star man Alfredo Morelos sent off for celebrating in front of the home support. Rightly or wrongly, his suspension will be a big loss for Rangers who have relied on him for goals so many times this season.

Captain James Tavernier shared this sentiment, praising the 23-year-old striker on Twitter after the match. He claimed that the Colombian had been carrying the team all season. Supporters, while big fans of Morelos, were quick to give Tavernier some of the credit as well. They appreciated the gesture from the captain, but believe he is just as important to the team as the forward.

Do you think Tavernier is just as important as Morelos?

Yes

Yes

No

No

One fan told Tavernier that she hadn’t forgotten the Englishman’s commitment to the team back when they weren’t competing for the league.


What do we think?

It hasn’t been a perfect start to the season for Tavernier. The full-back has had his fair share of critics. But it is clear from these fans’ messages that the supporters are backing him to the hilt.
