Rangers have three representatives in the Professional Footballers’ Association Scotland team of the year, voted by their fellow top-flight players.
Unsurprisingly, Jack Butland is given the nod in between the sticks after keeping 17 clean sheets in 32 games since moving to Govan in the summer.
James Tavernier has been a familiar faces in these sides and takes his place again, after scoring 24 goals in all competitions.
Despite some sticky patches, John Lundstram’s return to form following the arrival of Philippe Clement impressed the midfielder’s peers and earns him a spot.
Something weird happened at the weekend. Rangers beat Hearts 5-0 and James Tavernier wasn’t on the scoresheet. He’s been their most reliable source of goals in recent years, scoring at least 18 in each of the last four seasons, and has a whopping 120 since joining Rangers from Wigan Athletic in 2015.
After plenty of research, and with thanks to Pete Tomlin in particular for his input, we couldn’t find a full-back with more goals for their club than Tavernier. Some of the figures vary slightly from source to source, so we’ve taken the number we think is most reliable. You’ll get the general drift.
