Player to watch: James Tavernier
With summer arrivals in attack making slow starts, much of Rangers' attacking responsibility continues to fall on captain James Tavernier.
The 34-year-old defender has managed two goals and two assists in the last six outings, taking his tallies to seven and four for the season respectively, while he is now 13 short of 150 Rangers goals and six short of 150 assists.
