James Tavernier blanks brutal Rangers fan banner as he issues defiant response to captaincy cynics

Under-fire captain James Tavernier claims he didn't see the banner that was unveiled by Rangers fans which questioned the Ibrox players.

The travelling support in Paisley vented their fury at results when the Union Bears section at St Mirren Park unveiled a banner after little more than 10 minutes of action.

The Rangers ultras took aim at the players and in particular the lack of leadership in the team. The banner read: "Heartless, passionless, leaderless.

Not fit to wear our colours." But following the full-time whistle and a 3-0 victory - with Tavernier netting twice either side of a strike from Abdallah Sima - he insisted he had missed the display in the away end when he was put on the spot by Sky Sports.
