Rangers: James Tavernier defiant but are players good enough to take team forward?

“It almost feels like a loss,” Tavernier admitted. “Being a Rangers player, you have to win every single game. That’s what we have to do from now until the end of this competition.”

“It’s definitely not over, but we have to build from this.”

Ziga attempted to put the ball into the path of Martínez without any pressure to give Braga a point, with it appearing that the defender was losing the flight of the ball in the windy conditions.

With John Souter and Derek Cornelius injured, Ziggy was paired with Emmanuel Fernandez, ultimately leading Rangers to a crucial win.

Tavernier said, “I have no complaints with Nasser, everyone makes mistakes, but we should ultimately tie the match before that happens.”

“We’ve got to be more patient, probing around their final third rather than trying to shoot when it’s not on. I’ve talked about it before, about being clinical in both boxes, and we’ve got to do that.

“If we keep it a clean sheet, we win. Our aim as a team is to keep a clean sheet. The 10 players we were playing against should have been in our pocket.”
