Rangers fans were not too happy with James Tavernier swerving the BT Sport cameras after the Liverpool humiliation the other night but he did come out 24 hours later with an attempt at an explanation.

If I was a supporter I wouldn’t be upset at the timing – I’d be more angry at the message. Tavernier held his hands up and admitted it wasn’t good enough.

He said sorry and all the other things you’d expect. But it was his line at the end that set alarm bells ringing for me. “The Champions League is a great bonus for us,” he said. “Obviously we want to do our best in it, but the main focus is the league and domestic cups.” Really?

Tavernier should come straight back out and apologise for his apology. What kind of attitude is that? Listen, Tavernier has been a decent Rangers captain.
