Andy Walker blasts 'terrible Hibs problem' as James Tavernier targeted with 'missiles'

Andy Walker blasts 'terrible Hibs problem' as James Tavernier targeted with 'missiles'

ANDY WALKER has blasted a small section of the Hibs support for "throwing missiles" towards Rangers skipper James Tavernier.

Rangers take on Hibs at Easter Road in the early kick-off today.

The fixture always tends to be tasty, with a bit of needle between the clubs in recent years.

Unfortunately, there has been crowd trouble in previous meets, with glass bottles thrown towards Tavernier and even one supporters invading the field to confront the right-back.

Tavernier in action

The Sky Sports commentator has described the section of the Easter Road crowd as a "terrible problem" for Hibs. 

It comes after he claimed missiles had be thrown in Tavernier's direction during today's match while the Gers captain took a throw-in.

Walker said: "More missiles are coming onto the pitch in front of Tavernier. It's a terrible problem Hibs have in that area of the pitch."
