Former Celtic star Gary Caldwell has taken aim at Rangers captain James Tavernier, and claimed that he sold him to Rangers five years ago as his “mentality could have been better.” Caldwell was Tavernier’s boss at Wigan and sold Tavernier, Martyn Waghorn and Rob Kiernan to the Gers shortly after Mark Warburton the reins.

Caldwell is a cracker to talk about Taverniers mentality, he is an overated dud.
A crap footballer.
A crap manager.
And a crap talker.
I find it disgraceful ( if not surprising ) that BBC Scotland gave this dud the platform to mount this personal attack on one of our players AND that the newspapers in this country take the opportunity to carry the story to a bigger audience.
Whether Tav was mentally strong 5 years ago when he was at Wigan is irrelevant to what kind of man he is now after working with a better standard of manager and coaching staff . Caldwell has no right to criticise him given his track record at Wigan where he was sacked after getting them relegated twice ,Chesterfield where he was sacked after he got them relegated and Partick Thistle where he was sacked after just avoiding relegation .
He sold Tav, Kiernan and Waggy and replaced them with relegation fodder so his opinion on players strengths and weaknesses should not be given any credibility .
I regard this attack , a personal one on one of our players, as being appalling and think that all media outlets who carried this story should be banned from Ibrox, no joke bans , the full monty this time.
Its time we acted to put a stop to the constant attacks on our club and this one is so far over the line it is the final straw , for me.

Am no Tavs biggest fan but for another so called professional footballer and his own ex coach no less to be coming out and criticizing another football players mental health is shocking. If this was in any other walk of life apart from politics the press would’ve slaughtered him for criticizing anybody’s mental health. It seems our Rangers Player and all other staff are fare game for rubbish ex managers who canny get a job in football but Scottish radio tv and news papers will have them and pay them well for comments that real pundits wouldn’t go looking in the gutter looking for. Look at the pundits who’re always slaggin Rangers, failed ex managers who got their teams relegated and win were sacked. They’re no good for anything else but talking crap about Rangers. We never hear any o them slaughter any other team. It’s the anti Rangers gutter press and ex septic nobodies who are now making money for slaughtering a mans mental health. That’s really great journalism BBC Scotland and the daily tim. Rangers need to ban all those clowns from Ibrox and keep them banned !!!
