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.
