Craig Moore has lauded Philippe Clement for his decision to substitute James Tavernier late on in the clash between Rangers and Dundee.
The Light Blues ran out 3-0 winners on Saturday (21 September) as they booked their place in the League Cup semi-finals thanks to a brace from Cyriel Dessers and a second-half penalty from the skipper.Tavernier was replaced by Neraysho Kasanwirjo with just under 10 minutes to play in Glasgow before being given a standing ovation by the home crowd and Go Radio pundit Moore thinks it could re-energise the 32-year-old.
Speaking on The Go Radio Football Show (23 September, 18:00) he said: “I actually think it was a good move from the manager.
“I think there have been a lot of tough times that Tavernier has experienced as a captain and therefore he’s a player who takes the brunt of a lot of things.But it was a good performance, he got his penalty so he scored again and there was a moment there where the fans could show their appreciation towards him which I’m sure will give him some energy and a really good feeling.”
