James Tavernier has broken his silence on the confrontation with the Rangers support at McDiarmid Park and responded: "I am there to listen."
The Light Blues skipper was caught on film as angry supporters expressed their views following the defeat to St Johnstone in Perth on Sunday. It's a result that now leaves Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men trailing Celtic at the top of the Premiership by seven points with just 13 games played in the season to date.
The pressure is mounting on the Dutchman and his side with Hearts arriving at Ibrox tomorrow night before a weekend trip to St Mirren ahead of the World Cup break. The skipper knows they need to deliver performances and results to match with a return to winning ways the big priority. Speaking to the media, he said: "It's understandable to hear the thoughts of the fans after a poor result. I am the captain and I am there to listen to the fans. We need to improve and perform.
