Adam Devine has warned Rangers skipper James Tavernier he’s driven to oust him from the Ibrox starting XI.
The 19-year-old was showered with praise by manager Michael Beale after handling being thrown into the pressure pot of first team action last month. Beale told Tavernier he’ll need to be looking over his shoulder now the rookie has proven he can handle the heat, especially as he was thrust in as a makeshift left-back.
And after dropping back out the starting XI for the win over Motherwell and Monday’s Old Firm draw, Devine insists his ultimate goal is to force his way back in and steal the skipper’s berth on his natural right side. The youngster has learned much of his trade from watching the Englishman who he admits is a role model. But spurred on by Beale’s praise he is now targeting becoming a first team regular after his impressive displays against Hibs, Aberdeen and Ross County.
