ED, could you please run a poll amongst us rangers supporters, regarding our captain james tavernier. I rate tav as the best right wingback in scotland bar none and have said as much, on here many times! His deliveries into the opposition box are exceptional and gives our team so so so much, going forward.
My poll would be-is james tavernier the best right wingback in scotland? Cheers ED, would be much appreciated!

Can i ask the people who have voted no in this poll who is the best right wing back in Scotland if not tavernier because it's certainly not lustig and I can't think of anyone else close to tavs ability.

Best of a very bad lot! Flanagan is best right fullback in scotland.

I'll get slaughtered for this but Tierney (I know he's a LB) is a better RB than Tav.

He is an enigma can be great going forward can supply great balls into the box BUT he can't defend he seems to lose his man too many times for my liking and it's costing us IMO he's the weak link in the last line of defence but then you need to ask pushing him into midfield who do we drop to accommodate him?

Flanagan is a better right back in terms of defence which I believe is what it should be based on, a defender should defend.

I think I have seen Flanagan once at right back so far for us and based on the absolute roasting he took against Ufa before being sent off I think you are just kidding yourself on if you think he is better than Tav. and I like Flannagan. They are just completely different types of full back, the reality is we severely lack creation and if we want a full back to stay in their own half and focus on defending we need to start creating goals elsewhere.

Windass was the whipping boy, now it's Tav.

We all know Tav was at fault against Motherwell, to many people ignoring as well though that the last minute equaliser in that game should also have been McGregor ball all day everyday.

Their goal on Sunday as well should have been stopped in the middle of the park with ejaria clipping Rogic and taking the yellow.

1 loss in 13 games - 8 of them European game. Aye it's the back 4 that's the problem.

The first half of Jzer's post is the nail on the head. Yes he probably is the best in my opinion but the competition is pretty awful.

I will rephrase the question, as we rebuild the squad over the next couple of seasons would you say he will be good enough for the team? Say three or four windows of consistently strengthening the team, I would want him replaced by then.

Tavs not bad going forward but terrible at defending, the other problem is 90% of his crosses are over hit.

The only time tav does OK is when candyman is helping him out, who rarely gets his cross pass the first defender incidentally.

He doesn't even play wing back so even your poll is flawed. We play with FULL BACKS. Who's first job is to defend yes he is good going forward but his defending leaves a bit to be deserved.

Totally correct fb, a loaded question.
