Philippe Clement hails James Tavernier as Instagram post draws £15m Premier League attention

James Tavernier has received a lot of plaudits from Rangers manager Philippe Clement after the Ibrox

captain’s spectacular free-kick performance against Kilmarnock.

The Ibrox manager was speaking following Rangers’ 2-1 victory against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park,

which might have significant implications for the Scottish Premiership title contest.

But had it not been for the heroics of James Tavernier – who bent a genuinely world class free-kick

equaliser past Kilmarnock goalie Will Dennis in the second half – things might not have worked out in

Ayrshire.

There were several big moments in the game but none were perhaps more important than the stunning

long-range free-kick and Philippe Clement was asked about James Tavernier after the match.

During the press conference following the game, Belgian manager Clement commended Tavernier for

accepting accountability for the Rangers squad.

The Rangers manager seizes the opportunity to compliment the Ibrox supporters as well, saying that the

team’s captain’s demeanor perfectly captures the spirit of the crowd.

Clement stated, “He is there all the time.” He is there at all times. He puts forth a lot of effort for the

team since playing defense is just as important as scoring and stats.

And he never loses, he fights until the very end, and he gives it all. Both the squad and the supporters are

starting to adopt this mindset more and more.
