Rangers must 'do talking on pitch' - Tavernier
Skipper urges players to prove worth in crucial Celtic clash
By [Your Name]
Rangers captain James Tavernier has admitted that the team's recent inconsistent form has been unacceptable and has urged his players to respond with a strong performance in Saturday's Old Firm derby against Celtic.
The Gers have won just two of their last seven matches in all competitions, including a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership last weekend. As a result, they now trail Celtic by five points at the top of the table with just six games remaining.
Speaking ahead of the derby clash, Tavernier said: "We know that our recent form has not been good enough. We have had a lot of meetings and discussions this week, and we are all determined to put things right on Saturday.
“We know that Celtic are a strong team, but we are confident that we can beat them. We have a good record against them at Ibrox, and we will be looking to continue that on Saturday.
“The fans have been great for us this season, and we want to give them something to cheer about on Saturday. We know that it will be a tough game, but we are up for the challenge. We need to do our talking on the pitch now.”
