Just seen a stat on x so may not be true but if it is it’s very interesting.
Tav has missed 3 old firm games since he has been here and we have won 2 and drew 1 ?.
I have enjoyed the result yesterday but our main problem is beating teams in low block and our away form in the league which is horrendous and that needs to be rectified. Hopefully start by beating Hibs Sunday. Long way to go for pc to change the minds of fans but yesterday did help as he got that monkey of his back.

I’ve been saying this to various people for a while, I don’t think we will see another OF victory with tav in the starting 11.
He’s too easily got at by wingers as he backs off them and has no recovery pace once the pass him can’t recover quick enough when he ventures forward either.
Anytime maeda got a start on ridvan he was able to recover and take the ball of him. He made it like maeda wasn’t playing, Sterling would do similar.
Ridvan was actually an attacking threat whilst keeping maeda non existent.

Here's a thought why not give the opposition more of the ball and make them come out more. We don't need 80% of the ball because it's Rangers vs Hibs.
03 Jan 2025 18:10:03
Hibs away is a game where they will come at us, so hopefully low bloc not a problem unless they have a lead to hang on too.
03 Jan 2025 18:22:32
Rangers just need that first goal away from home and then they need to come out.
03 Jan 2025 18:25:26
checked transfermarkt and in his time with us other than yesterday we have won 11 and drawn 5 OF games with tav missing 2 others through injury with Balogun in his place and an unused sub when Patterson played. so x is wrong I think.
another tactic is to press early for the ball when we lose it and either dispossess or make them punt it long. that intensity from us will help us win more if the players now have confidence to do it.
03 Jan 2025 18:51:05
I checked again it’s maybe his time from being captain he has missed 3 and it’s 2 wins and one draw.
03 Jan 2025 18:52:06
I know some fans still like Tav as a player but he is done and has been done for a 2 seasons now and the sooner he is away the better. We would not have had that performance yesterday with him in the team that’s my opinion and I firmly believe that.

Transfermarket is as good as Twitter and wiki Angus they aren’t 100% correct all the time.
03 Jan 2025 18:59:11
never knew but you know how sad I am with stats ?.
03 Jan 2025 19:04:29
Angus, are you saying that Tavernier has missed 16 OF games, he`s hardly missed 16 games altogether in his time with us .
03 Jan 2025 19:24:47
no wsl there have been 16 wins and draws against Celtic since he arrived. that might not be 100% accurate as off Transfermarkt. In this he has missed 4 including yesterday.
03 Jan 2025 22:23:08
it is on transfermarkt though so it could be 11 or 12 results out.
03 Jan 2025 22:27:35
We would have won yesterday even if tav butland soutter and leon all played Celtic were not at the races saying we wouldn’t of won if one different payer played is ridiculous.
04 Jan 2025 07:42:58
Raskin you can't be sure of that. Yilmaz stopped Maeda something Tav can't do, Kelly got the ball up the field early something Butland doesn't do and Soutter has been ripped up many a time in the fixture.
04 Jan 2025 08:19:41
catch and that is the thing neither can you. it is an opinion and I agree with Raskin on this. it was more to do about what we did up front to defend that made us better.
04 Jan 2025 11:05:06
Angus are you and Mystar the same person under different usernames? Yous seem to agree on everything and use same phrases. Might be wrong but the two of you are very similar.
04 Jan 2025 17:32:08
Catch you have been wrong about everything else you have written so it is good that you have kept up the 100% record.
