( Irrelevant? ) Player STATS
Captain Tav.
A player who has given his all but can divide the support for a variety of reasons.
From a bombscare defensively to a lack of leadership qualities on the park, a lot has been said about him.
For me personally you just have to see what the club means to him.
And I believe he has grown into the role.
How he spoke about Walter Smith and Jimmy Bell.
He gets it.

Tav ( EL ) - lost possession on average 25 per game
Tav ( SPFL ) - lost possession on average 26 per game
Statistically performs well at both levels.
Surprisingly wins more aerial duels than ground duels.
And let's be honest - if he was the defender we all think he should be, he wouldn't be at Rangers.
Trusted by both Gerrard and Gio to lead the team - that will do for me.
Respected by his teammates - that will do for me.

Great stats mph. that's why i asked the question the other day as to why there is this nagging doubt in people's head still re Tav (mine included) . With each passing season though i warm to him more. I would love to see him reach testimonial status at the club as long as he keeps producing the numbers he does.

I think he is one of the most divisive Captain / Player in our history who divides opinion on his overall ability.
