James Tavernier will be ‘disappointed’. Isn’t he always?
Philippe Clement will point to a job half done in terms of a long term rebuild which will have to be carried out in instalments. And maybe both of them will cling to the delusion that there was only three goals of a difference between their own team and that of the champions from across town yesterday in Glasgow’s east end. But they’d be kidding themselves from the truth of the matter.And Rangers have been guilty of doing that for so long now that these derby days are causing their own supporters all manner of distress, anxiety and seemingly endless embarrassment. No, the truth is – as unpalatable as it may be for them to swallow – is that these fans are now on the point of throwing in the towel, in the same way that captain Tavernier did yesterday afternoon while his team was being taken apart by the neighbours.
