When Alfredo Morelos missed a penalty in the League Cup final defeat to Celtic on Sunday afternoon, plenty of Rangers fans pointed the finger at James Tavernier. The skipper has been the Gers’ designated penalty taker for a couple of seasons but had come under scrutiny after missing three spot-kicks over the early stages of…
It is not Tav’s fault that Alfredo missed a penalty. This was a day full of nightmares. Forster played the game of his life and on another day, we could have won by 4 or 5. The difference between the sides today was three things, their goalkeeper and it upsets me to say it but their centre forward has composure. Alfredo is just trying too hard. I am sure that when Alfredo gets that elusive first goal, he will get many. The third thing was that Connor just hasn’t got the better of their centre forward. My preference is Edmundson and Katic although Helander could not be faulted today. However, there is no doubt that we have to continue playing as we do as it will not only beat them but also start winning trophies too. Keep believing. WATP.

Rubbish. Our captain did bottle it and comments after the game were made in an attempt to protect him from criticism. He is no more a captain or leader than Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck!
