Rangers 100 club membership is in the post but James Tavernier reckons he should have sealed it at Fir Park

James Tavernier's membership to Rangers’ 100 club is in the post.

But the Ibrox skipper is kicking himself he didn’t manage an express delivery at Fir Park on Saturday.

The remarkable right-back is now just two goals away from clocking up a century of goals for the Light Blues.

A month on from being indicted into Gers’ Hall of fame, Tavernier now hopes to finalise his application to join another of the club’s most exclusive cliques after notching his 98th goal on his 392nd appearance.

He swept home a sweet set-piece to cancel out Kevin van Veen’s early opener for Motherwell.

Another free-kick landed on the roof of Liam Kelly’s net before Tavernier scooped a stoppage-time opportunity over the bar after opting to go with his usually trusty right foot when a swinger with his left might have done the job.

However, it’s surely only a matter of time before Tavernier becomes just the 19th post-war player to bring up his Rangers ton.

“I should have hit the 100 mark on Saturday,” groaned the Englishman.

“I was disappointed not to do better with the chances I had and finished them better.

“I got some stick for the last one where I should have gone with my left foot.

“The tendency has been to move further and further back the pitch so it’s obviously been a bit harder to get those goals.

“But I enjoy scoring goals - I just wish I’d got a couple more at Fir Park.”
