'Absolute nightmare' - David Edgar destroys Rangers ace after what he did in last 24 hours

Rangers defender James Tavernier has been slammed by David Edgar after what he did on Sunday against Motherwell.

Gers secured a come-from-behind 2-1 victory in the Scottish League Cup semi-final on 3 November after being down at the break.

Tavernier was among the players who struggled at Hampden Park and was duly criticised by the Heart and Hand podcast host.

Edgar wrote on X: “Tavernier is having an absolute nightmare here.”

Rangers must begin work on a long-term James Tavernier replacement

Tavernier’s performance in the Scottish League Cup semi-final against Motherwell has once again spotlighted his limitations as a right-back, particularly in high-stakes encounters.

Despite Rangers securing a victory, the 33-year-old’s struggles on the pitch underline a recurring issue that becomes glaringly apparent in crucial matches.

His defensive frailties and occasional lapses in concentration not only undermine the team’s defensive solidity but also highlight the need for the club to look towards the future with a more dependable option.

As Gers aim to compete at the highest levels both domestically and in Europe, having a consistent and reliable right-back is crucial.

Planning for a replacement next summer isn’t just about moving on from Tavernier due to his diminishing performances but ensuring that the team’s long-term ambitions are not hamstrung by positional weaknesses.

Whether or not Dujon Sterling or Neraysho Kasanwirjo are considered suitable long-term options remains to be seen.
