Rangers captain James Tavernier expresses disappointment after Ross County's first ever victory over his side, damaging their Scottish Premiership title hopes.
Rangers captain James Tavernier has confessed it was a"very disappointing performance from everybody" after witnessing Ross County record their first ever victory over his side - and dealt a severely damaging blow to their Scottish Premiership title ambitions .
However, that chance was scuppered when Ross County hit three second half goals without reply before Tavernier himself netted a late consolation from the penalty spot. "It's a very disappointing performance from everybody. But there's six games to play and we'll obviously be fully focused on Wednesday now."The warning signs were there during the first 45 minutes, and Tavernier admitted the Rangers squad were told by manager Philippe Clement at the interval that Ross County could cause an upset, and to drive higher standards if they wanted to hold onto maximum points.
"We've got six games to play and we've obviously got to step it up now for Wednesday and the remainder of the season."It was a damaging blow for Rangers, however Tavernier refused to get caught up in any title race talk at this stage. "Today's obviously really disappointing. It was the performance levels that were really poor and we've got to hold our hands up as a team and really give a performance that we all put in during the week and give the fans a performance but it wasn't there today."We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
