James Tavernier in Rangers 'look in the mirror' demand but captain makes 'lots to play for' vow

James Tavernier admits Rangers were 'unacceptable' at Hampden and says a 'look in the mirror' will follow Sunday's cup final defeat.

It was the end of Michael Beale's unbeaten run as Rangers manager at the national stadium as Tavernier and co fell to a 2-1 defeat against rivals Celtic. The Viaplay Cup final was a tussle for the first piece of silverware up for grabs this season with Rangers trailing Ange Postecoglou's men by nine points in the battle for the league title, placing emphasis for Rangers on the Hampden showpiece.

But the Light Blues skipper, who last season lifted the Scottish Cup, admits it was 'unacceptable' to come away from the game with nothing. The 31-year-old claims, however, that there is still a lot to play for as the season nears the final third and that a more honest asssement of the game will be clear for Beale's men in the days to come.
