to Parkhead next Saturday with a chance to move level on points with their opponents Celtic at the top of the cinch Premiership table after coming from a goal down to beat Kilmarnock 4-1 at Ibrox this afternoon.
It was an incident-packed, occasionally bad-tempered, tension-filled encounter and Clement will be pleased with how his charges coped with the occasion and ground out a deserved and important triumph.A draw or a defeat against Kilmarnock today would not have made it an arithmetical impossibility for Rangers to catch and overtake Celtic in the Scottish title race.
Tavernier and his team mates were, not for the first time in recent weeks, far from their brilliant best at moments. They certainly got a lucky break when Wright received his marching orders. Still, they were worthy winners when the full-time whistle blew. There was a touch of good fortune about the opener. Still, Liam Polwarth picked out Kennedy with a brilliant cross and his team mate did superbly to cut the ball back and force Tavernier to turn into his own net.Park team struggled to get out of their own half when they were at a numerical disadvantage. It was no great surprise when the Rangers equaliser came.There have been very few instances of a referee ignoring the advice of a VAR colleague this season.
But did the defender really deserve to see a red card? His offence was inadvertent rather than deliberate. Being reduced to 10 men reduced Kilmarnock’s chances of protecting or building on their lead.This was another day to forget for Rangers captain Tavernier. The right back has been heavily criticised by Light Blues fans of late and he did little to work his way back into their good books in the opening 45 minutes.
