The atmosphere at Ibrox has shifted from celebration to toxicity following a disastrous 2-1 defeat to Hibernian\u2014a result that has been completely overshadowed by the “disgraceful” treatment of club legend James Tavernier. What was supposed to be a poignant farewell for the long-serving captain turned into a public fallout between the defender and manager Danny Rohl, leaving the Rangers faithful in a state of open revolt.
\u200bA Captain Cast Aside
\u200bAfter 11 years of service, Tavernier\u2019s Ibrox career reached a shocking nadir when he was sensationally dropped from the starting XI for his final home game. Reports of a significant “rammy” emerged as the captain discovered he would only be a substitute. Despite Rohl\u2019s claims that he wanted to give Tavernier a “final whistle” moment from the bench, the defender\u2014feeling disrespected after over 450 appearances\u2014initially withdrew from the squad entirely.
\u200bThe Rohl-Tavernier Rift
\u200bRohl\u2019s post-match comments did little to quell the anger. The German coach detailed a breakdown in communication regarding a scheduled medical injection, but fans have been quick to point the finger at Rohl\u2019s rigid man-management. To many, benching the highest-scoring defender in British history for his own send-off was an ego-driven move that backfired spectacularly.
\u200b”Finally, he didn’t accept that he will not start and then he stayed away from the team. And this is the story,” Rohl remarked, a statement that has only further alienated a support base already reeling from four consecutive post-split losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The atmosphere at Ibrox has shifted from celebration to toxicity following a disastrous 2-1 defeat to Hibernian\u2014a result…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[24],"class_list":{"0":"post-497","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized","7":"tag-rangers"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":499,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497\/revisions\/499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
