five stars 1,767 Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 He's still nowhere near good enough. We need him off the wage bill, even if that means letting him move without a transfer fee. His over a million quid a year salary, can be much better spent. King Jela, Trooblue, HG5 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooblue 2,016 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 37 minutes ago, NixonRFC said: Looks like he's checked out, not sure if he's had his heart set on a move this summer and for whatever reason it hasn't materialised, but he's looked well off it so far this season, form can fluctuate but the captain's attitude should always be spot on from the first whistle of the season. I wonder if he was even interested in a move. Focused on his testimonial perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,284 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 He's going to be absolutely targeting this season by opposition. He seems to have fallen off a cliff, you'd think he was about 37yr old and had some serious injuries the way hes plodding around. You can already sense how toxic this could get and how bad it could get for him. beararse, bmurray9, HG5 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,751 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 He’s finished and by October time it’ll more than likely be as bad as when McCulloch was booed when he touched the ball. The fans are past breaking point, and he is synonymous with the failure this club has given us the past 5 years. five stars, RogerMellie and wully 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 63,373 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Going to be a tough watch this season. Absolutely done and seeing him 1 on 1 against any half decent winger is painful. Yet another player we’ll keep at least a season too long, get fuckall return in any transfer and leave when it’s toxic. Manager has to double up on wingers or it’ll cost us massively. Other fullback position is a mess as well. 16BlueSherbert90 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJacketRFC 7,630 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Fucking mad how many managers Tav has outlasted and every time a new manager comes in they still play him. The next manager who comes in and fucking bins him will succeed 100%. I thought clement had the character to do so but he's also fell for his charm. Tav is finished at Rangers and looks like someone suffering from atheritus. Davemac, beararse and bmurray9 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beararse 6,883 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Absolutely atrocious defender. Has been for far too long. If Sterling isn’t fit enough to replace him then change formation to 352 and play three centre halves. Given how chronic Tav clearly is now, its unfathomable how he is still 1. captain of Rangers and 2. still a first pick. Pretty much every Rangers supporter knows teams are targeting him and yet he still plays and offers fuck all.

ricksen92 500 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 When will he realise that to stop a cross you have to get close to the player, not stand or start 10-15 yards away. Same on other side. Wingers on the touchline with all the time to control the ball, lookup and pickout a player to cross to. Tav just strolles over and puts in half hearted atempt at a block.

BouncyBluenose87 1,595 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Just listened to his post-match interview. He’s not a confident speaker at all and his body language comes across as nervous to me. Coming out with crap like maybe we should have tested their keeper more? Maybe?! Our captain everybody!… Clement isn’t much better. He’s mumbling along with minimal honesty about the performance too. Sounds like he’s happy to accept some players mediocre showings rather than being honest and stating he needs more from some players and they will know who they are. Finding it harder and harder with each passing display and interview to buy into our management and leadership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t want to get too close to a winger because he knows he'll then get done for pace. If you're a defender and as slow as Tav is, you need to be able to read the game (like Davie Weir) otherwise you're fucked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 55,327 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 He's on the decline having peaked physically a couple of seasons ago. He can't offer us what he did without that energy. He may get slightly fitter but he'll never hit the consistency he needs, and I'd expect a few more injuries will start to creep in. Contracted til May 2026 😒 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,284 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Every single winger in every single SPL team will fancy their chances against him. He is as poor as you'll find defensively in the SPL. With his attacking threat waining it spells for disaster for both us and him. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SkylineBlue 25,697 Posted August 17 Popular Post Share Posted August 17 It's hard to watch tbh. I feel sorry for him. It's like watching Tony Ferguson fight.

ExiledWeegie123 1,398 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 "you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." a Batman quote that quite fits Tav, if he had left 18 months ago he would have been a legend, he sees out this season in the form hes in and he will ruin his legacy with us, hes never been any good at defending but his attacking made it so hard to drop him, now though hes useless to us and cost us time and again.
