James Tavernier says Rangers can't afford to be looking at what Celtic are up to in the Premiership title race.
There are questions being asked of the players at Ibrox and manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst after they fell four points behind their rivals in a 1-1 draw at home to Livingston. Celtic meanwhile won 4-3 away at Hearts but Tavernier insists all Rangers can focus on just now is trying to cheer supporters up after they were booed off the park against the Lions.
He said: "We have just got to concentrate on ourselves and go game by game in the league and we've just got to concentrate on trying to get the three points every single game. We can’t focus on them, we just have to focus on our performances and move on from that. We all, including myself, deserve the criticism in the games that we haven't performed.

"I'm obviously captain and I have to take the full brunt of it. That's why I'm in the position that I am. We're a changing room that has high demands.
"We need to demand more going forward because we obviously don't want any of these performances coming back.
“We can only apologise to the fans who watched, but we have to put it right as a team. It is only the boys in the changing room who can change things."
