Is the Clock Ticking on James Tavernier's Time at Rangers? Subscribe Now: ‪@PLZSoccer‬

In a surprising move, Rangers skipper James Tavernier was omitted from the starting eleven in Philippe Clement’s side during their Champions League clash against Olympiacos, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Ayoub El Kaabi’s second-half goal was neatly countered by Cyriel Dessers, leaving fans and pundits alike baffled by the decision to bench the 33-year-old captain.

Tavernier’s recent absence from the starting lineup, hintis at possible underlying issues within the squad or the management. While Tavernier has been rested before and is expected to handle such decisions professionally, his consistent exclusion raises questions among the Rangers faithful.

In Tavernier’s stead, Dujon Sterling had a commendable performance at right-back. The former Chelsea player has seen sporadic playing time this season but now appears to have a genuine opportunity to cement his place in the Rangers defense.

Whether Tavernier’s performance in Greece will lead to his permanent exclusion from the starting XI remains uncertain and is ultimately a decision for Philippe Clement to make. Fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming clash against Hearts on Sunday, 10 November, where Tavernier’s presence in the lineup will likely provide further insight into his standing within the team.

As the season progresses, all eyes will remain on Tavernier and the broader dynamics at Rangers, especially in light of recent training ground developments and managerial strategies. Supporters are advised to stay tuned for updates and to watch Tavernier’s attire closely before the next game to gauge his potential involvement.
