Tavernier shines in another Rangers victory
Skipper scored with a free-kick before assisting from another to top Dundee
Rangers' James Tavernier (centre) celebrates scoring his side's first goal of the game during the Scottish Premiership match at Tannadice Park, Dundee

JAMES TAVERNIER underlined his player-of-the-year credentials with another goal and an assist in Rangers’ 2-1 win over Dundee United yesterday.

The skipper scored with one sensational free-kick for his 17th goal of the season and then swung in another for Connor Goldson’s winner at Tannadice Park — the 13th goal the right-back has set up this term.

It is looking more and more like this will be Rangers’ year to break Celtic’s hold on the Premiership title, with Steven Gerrard’s team overcoming this latest examination of their character.
