‘Let’s hope you practice what you preach, blue Cafu,’ Tavernier’s Celtic fan reminder

THE current Rangers captain James Tavernier took to social media back in April 2016 after the Rangers had finally completed their somewhat delayed journey through the lower divisions to win promotion to the Premiership by winning the 2015-16 Championship.

The Rangers penalty king wanted to talk about the Guard of Honour that ‘Same Old’ Alloa
provided to the newly confirmed Championship winners at Ibrox in the first match after that lower league title was secured.

Tavernier wrote this: “Great respect to Alloa Athletic for the guard of honour today!! True sportsmanship unlike some!!

Should Celtic get at least a draw at Pittodrie or failing that if Hibs get something at Ibrox the next day then the Glasgow Derby the following week will give Tavernier and his team-mates the perfect opportunity to show “true sportsmanship” by providing the 8 In a Row Champions with a Guard of Honour.

The Same Old Alloa video remains a firm favourite from their Banter years. Surely it deserves another outing today?
