So if the rumours are true and we punt tavernier for the 4 million mentioned (tidy wee profit ) is the boy Paiterson the guy to take over at right back? And who gets the armband? .

Tavs going nowhere.
02 Sep 2020 21:01:53
Bgate if he was to leave then it will be Goldson as that’s who is vice captain tho I think it should be jack/ Davis.
02 Sep 2020 21:37:03
If you think we would sell Tav for 4 million your off your nut.
02 Sep 2020 21:57:25
Not necessarily kJ, although you are probably correct, I have seen vice captains remain just that in my time for a variety of reasons.
02 Sep 2020 22:38:13
Davis? he's done. Not a chance he should be captain. He won't play in the majority of our games. Too old. We need a captain who will be present.

Tav makes mistakes and is without a doubt a better attacking player than defender but when he spends 80% of his game in the oppositions half is it any surprise. TAA at Liverpool isn’t the greatest defender in the world but is full of praise. (I’m not saying Tav is as good BTW) however Tav has delivered more for us than against us (mistakes) so I think it’s crazy the criticism he gets.
If anyone knows what qualities you need for a captain it’s Steven Gerrard so il put faith that he’s the right man for the job. A captain has influence on the pitch and arguably more importantly off the pitch. What you see every 90 mins doesn’t define the work Tav does for the club and his team mates!
12th man is a major part of the problem.
03 Sep 2020 12:57:31
So there is a problem then? Make your mind up will ye.
03 Sep 2020 12:58:48
Tell me. What has tav delivered as a captain?
03 Sep 2020 13:19:44
What do you expect him to deliver?
His role as captain is to lead the team on the field and to support them and help the club progress off the field.
Which I think you’ll struggle to disagree when I say he’s done massively.
The atmosphere within the club looks to be the best it’s been in a long time - Tav plays a massive part in that
He is the link between management and players and I have yet to see any negativity from the players in the press.
There are of course other factors to this but you can’t mistake Tav’s influence in these matters
If you think a captains only job is to scream and shout for 90 mins then you are deluded.
Who would you suggest would make a better captain at the club and why?
03 Sep 2020 15:17:12
Lol. You have a really short memory. The negativity was clear when he done his piece in the match programme when he said we couldn’t cope under pressure. I have explained all I named to in previous posts. I think goldson would make a better captain as he is more vocal and certainly played at a higher level than tav. I would have jack as vice captain. I don’t see his leader ship on the field. I have played with captains I have more respect for than him

Everyone on here has the right to post how they feel without being called deluded etc due to someone disagreeing with u. I’ve played a lot of football over the years. Not missed a rangers game in 10 years except away in Europe. I have a sound knowledge of football. Tav in my opinion is no good and we need better. If you can’t see that the. You will eventually. Not aimed aT you directly but . To anyone with the same opinion as you. You don’t know anymore then emdy else abt what tav does as a captain.
03 Sep 2020 23:35:13
12th man.
You say you have a sound knowledge of football and yet your opinion of out captain and RB is the opposite of our manager who unless I am mistaken is on a different planet from you in footballing terms.
Please enlighten us as to why your opinion should be taken seriously.
