Brutal update: Doubt surrounds James Tavernier’s Rangers captain assertions as the tabloid retracts…
Maintaining awareness of the constantly evolving news landscape, not only within the Ibrox club but also in the broader 24/7 news cycle, is not always simple.
Although media sources try their hardest to update fans, there are times when people or publications are compelled to retract what they first said.
Additionally, one prominent Scottish tabloid has been forced to change course due to allegations involving Rangers captain James Tavernier, who has been under intense examination this summer.
Tavernier remains the Rangers captain.
The Daily Record first reported that James Tavernier, the under-pressure Rangers captain, was about to lose his captaincy at the Ibrox.
Given the honor by Steven Gerrard in 2018, the right-back has come under intense fire from supporters following disastrous performances against Celtic, an Old Firm foe, during a pivotal point in the season.
According to rumors, Jack Butland, the Rangers goalkeeper, will get the armband from Philippe Clement instead.
The announcement follows months of conjecture around James Tavernier, who we exclusively disclosed is a legitimate target for Saudi Arabian teams.
With a few ticks in the green this summer, some smaller fan media outlets suddenly suggested an exit is impending when you include links to Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq.
However, we were all left scratching our heads when James Tavernier showed up for the first day of Rangers pre-season training.
And just to add to the confusion, a little over an hour later, the Daily Record article was not so much amended as completely changed.
Is the Rangers captain able to endure summer?
After updating the story to say that James Tavernier isn’t losing his captaincy at all, the Daily Record hinted that there may have been some pressure from Rangers sources.
The long-serving Rangers captain will actually only forfeit the armband in the event that he decides to leave the team.
Although it might make news to announce that Jack Butland will take over as captain, James Tavernier losing the captaincy due to his departure from the team isn’t really a story at all.
We’re all left scratching our heads because it’s all so complicated and fans and other media outlets are struggling to stay up.
James Tavernier is most likely now acting in the same way.
Tav has spent nine years with the Rangers and has endured a lot.
