Ah it’s always great fun for the Celtic fans in the week after a Rangers defeat in the league.
In fact, scratch that. It’s fun when Rangers get beat at any time and in any competition. I mean, we all remember the fallout after they got humped out of the Europa League by Benfica.
Bears fighting, David Tanner tears, it’s superb when they get humped and the after the Ross County defeat on Sunday, the scattergun is well and truly out.
James Taverniers bizarre Ross County comments
But it was what Rangers captain, James Tavernier, said after the Ross County defeat that really confused the Celtic fans today.
Asked about his thoughts on the Dingwall disaster, Tavernier made a claim about his team that even his own supporters won’t believe.

Tavernier said (Daily Record), “It is definitely out of character. I can’t speak too much, I have to look back on the goals and how we defended as a team.
“But obviously to concede a goal in the second minute after half time is not what you want to do. You want to start the second half positively and we obviously didn’t do that. It was really tough but first and foremost we have to earn the right to win games and we didn’t do that.”
Celtic fans rinse Tavernier
Out of character? Remind me again how many times Rangers have dropped points this season. Also, can someone else remind me of the last time they beat Celtic in a meaningful game? I’m sure it’s going on three seasons now.
No one is buying Tavernier’s nonsense. Especially the Celtic fans who all sent him a message before they go to Dens Park tomorrow in a must-win game.
Out of character? Apart from 90% of the time he’s been a Rangers player.

I said it when they were top of the table. Give me Calmac for the title run in every time ahead of this bottle bag. pic.twitter.com/hUOLNDzgfN

The guy is the captain of a team of serial losers.
To be clear, theres nothing out of character about their collapse with just one league title, one Scottish cup and one league cup cup in almost a decade at the club 😭
Out of character? It's totally in character for this absolute failure. 😂

😝😝😝😝 You got to be joking We have been awaiting the bottle job. If it hadn't been for refereeing assistance it would have been obvious much earlier.

Him embarrassing himself with this "out of character" chat is ironically not out of character at all 😂😂😂
