Rangers injury news as James Tavernier update emerges from Ibrox already
James Tavernier has assured Rangers fans that he’s in good shape following concerns in the latter stages of their 3-1 victory against Hibernian at Ibrox on March 30.
The consistent captain sparked worry of an injury towards the end of the match after going down, but it seems any potential harm was minor.
This update brings relief to fans and Philippe Clement as attention now shifts to the crucial upcoming Old Firm clash against Celtic.
As revealed by Heart & Hand Podcast host David Edgar on March 30, Tavernier confirmed he was unharmed despite the initial scare.
Despite a rare missed penalty in the first half, the captain performed excellently, ultimately contributing to his team’s 3-1 victory at Ibrox by scoring shortly after with a well-timed run into the box.
Following their win, Rangers have reclaimed the top spot in the league from rivals Celtic, with a match against Livingston scheduled for March 31.
Tavernier understands the significance of the upcoming match, which could determine this season’s SPFL title winner. To secure victory, they’ll need to reverse their recent poor form.
The news of Tavernier’s fitness for the game is a significant boost, especially coupled with the return of Abdallah Sima, who has recuperated from his previous injury just in time for what promises to be the most important game of the season in Glasgow.
