Neraysho Kasanwirjo has lifted the lid on what James Tavernier told him before starting for Rangers against St Mirren on Sunday 27 October.
Kasanwirjo played the full 90 minutes as the Light Blues earned a 2-1 victory over St Mirren at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership.
This was the first time since 14 May 2022 that Tavernier did not start a league game for the Gers and the 22-year-old was under pressure to perform.
Kasanwirjo, though, revealed that Tavernier, who he also labelled the “father” of the team, instilled confidence in him in a pre-match conversation.
“He came before the game to me and said to just enjoy the game and show the quality you can play”, Kasanwirjo was quoted in the print edition of the Daily Record (29 October, page 51).
