James Tavernier admits Rangers penalty 'confusion' as skipper in line with boss over THAT handball mystery

dailyrecord.co.uk

Two shots, two goals. That’s what Kyogo Furuhashi has produced against Rangers in two Old Firm derbies this term. And for Ibrox skipper James Tavernier, that’s what made yesterday’s defeat to their city rivals so hard to swallow.

Philippe Clement’s side left Parkhead with a 2-1 defeat after Paulo Bernardo’s opener and Kyogo’s dream strike secured victory for Celtic.

Tavernier pulled a goal back late on with a trademark free-kick but with Gers down to 10 men following Leon Balogun’s red card they couldn’t salvage a point.

The captain was gutted with the result but saw enough from his team-mates to give them encouragement for the remainder of the title race.
