James Tavernier in defiant Rangers message as he refuses to give up on Celtic title race

James Tavernier has urged his Rangers teammates to come roaring back from defeat to Celtic by qualifying for the Europa League semi-finals.

And he's refused to give up on catching the Premiership leaders, demanding his teammates get the results they need to flip the script.

Tavernier 's side fell to a damaging 2-1 defeat to Celtic with Aaron Ramsey's early strike overturned by Tom Rogic and Cameron Carter-Vickers.

It moves the Hoops six points clear – with a substantially better goal difference – heading into the final six league games.

It leaves the Parkhead side overwhelming favourites and many fans and pundits have already written off a Rangers comeback.

But the Ibrox side, who face Braga in the Europa League quarter-finals and travel to Hampden for a Celtic rematch in the Scottish Cup, still have plenty to play for.

And Tavernier has demanded his teammates focus on what's still to come.

He told Rangers TV: "Obviously we're really disappointed. It's not the result we wanted, we said we wanted the three points and nothing less.

"We started really well, we get the goal, but the first attack they get, they score.

"Both goals, we've reflected on them and we're really disappointed with them for our standards.

"We tried to ask questions and just weren't clinical enough in the final third.

"There's six games left in the league, we're obviously playing against Braga, and we're in a semi-final.

"We can't dwell on this too much, we'll look back on this in the next couple of days, but we have to focus on Braga now.

"It's not going to sit right for us but we've got to do our utmost to get the results until the end of the season.

"We want to try and go as far as we can in the Europa League. We'll get round each other when
