Rangers Thread - 2023/24

@No.8 question for you.. what's your take on Tav? Followfollow is a tough place to speak rationally to Rangers fans especially around this fella, some have their views and anything outside of that is nothing but football manager lunacy if you see some of their comments. Exhausting people to speak to!

I've gone deep on the merits of considering altering Tavs position as he gets older and his lack of pace causes him more problems when coming up against wingers with pace in the bigger games. The weekend was the best example of it. Can you tell me why it is so batshit crazy to suggest Tav could adjust to play a bit further forward in the next year or so to continue to play to his attacking instincts, especially when there's a ready made right back in Sterling to shore up that full back slot?
Blows my mind that Rangers fans can't see any merit in it at all.
 
Yeh Tav certainly divides opinion. Lol

Firstly you have to remember we signed Tav when a championship team and its to his credit that he has developed into the player he is. Not many get the chance to captain their club in a European Final and come so close to lifting the trophy

Tav is not the best defensively but what he lacks there he more than makes up in his attacking ability and his dead ball prowess. He was the leading goal scorer in the Europa League the year we reached the final. Incredible for a full back.

As far as playing him further forward. Gerard tried that when he brought in Flanagan but it just never worked out for some reason. Tav just wasn’t as effective

As for Sundays roasting by Maeda. Tav has always struggled against him and Maeda saves his best for these games. I don’t like criticising the manager , who has been excellent, but I thought Barisic left back, Tav Right back and Sterling in place of Scott Wright was the obvious selection.

There is a rumour doing the rounds that Gerard wants to take Tav to Saudi. I honestly believe that might be rest all round. He ll certainly go with my best wishes as he’s been a great servant but we have found another cracker in Dujon Sterling. Not sure how long we ll keep him but lads played all over the park in the last few months.

My wife has been in Dundee all day and it’s hardly rained and certainly not enough to have a game called off.

They knew it was to rain between 11 am and 3 pm and chose not to put the covers back up

Happy clappers like you are everything that’s wrong with the game in Scotland

said it every season, Tav should be a midfielder rather than in defence
 
I hope they win the league. I am not interested in all that religion stuff as we are a mixed family but it would be good. I just prefer them to Celtic as Celtic wank off the rags.
