In the face of public criticism of James Tavernier’s qualifications as the Rangers captain, Jack Butland has thrown his support behind the player.

After joining the Ibrox team in 2015, the 31-year-old flying right-back has developed with the team during his approximately nine years in Glasgow.

James Tavernier was named Rangers’ captain by Steven Gerrard in 2018, and since then, he has developed into a vital member of the team on both ends of the pitch.

Despite this, a reputable Scottish journalist had expressed disapproval, stating that the Rangers captain lacked the “aura” necessary to hold the position of captain at Ibrox.

The topic of discussion is an alleged trip to Five Guys after the 3-0 victory over St Johnstone away from home.

Since then, Philippe Clement has called the allegations “silly stories.”

James Tavernier is hailed by Jack Butland
Jack Butland disagrees, stating this after James Tavernier’s outstanding free kick against Kilmarnock pulled Rangers back to equality.

The Rangers goalie called the captain a “leader” and commended his unwavering dedication to the Ibrox cause.
RangersTV was told by Jack Butland, “That’s what Tav does.” “It’s not simple for someone to step up and score goals and take pens like he does.”

His daily practice is dedicated to improving his free kicks in particular.

Therefore, when you play and practise like he does, when you’re a leader like he is, those opportunities come his way and he earns them. He has given us another important objective for today.

Rangers captain an Ibrox legend

Since joining the Rangers in 2015, James Tavernier has been nothing short of amazing, becoming a permanent fixture in Ibrox history.

Currently leading the team in defensive goals scored (the goal against Killie was his 121st while wearing a Gers jersey), he has made a huge impact in recent seasons.

But Rangers supporters are witnessing a more seasoned, focused, and composed Tav than ever this season—a season in which Tavernier has scored more than 20 goals for the first time.
Rangers captain James Tavernier is obviously highly regarded by Jack Butland, a Premier League calibre custodian who is expected to be called up to the England squad.We would ask supporters to treat Butland’s remarks with more gravity than they should because the goalie is a member of the team’s leadership.
