Moment Dundee supporter jeers clamped by Rangers captain James Tavernier

James Tavernier clamped Dundee supporters as he slammed home Rangers' second goal at Dens Park in the comeback win on Saturday.

The Ibrox captain hammered home from outside the box to haul Rangers back into the contest having been 2-0 and then 3-1 down in the Scottish Premiership tie.

Dundee supporters had been lapping up the performance with their side 3-1 up in the second half before Tavernier ignited a comeback victory. 

Sky Sports coverage of the match picked up jeers from the home end with supporters singing the name of Rangers interim boss Barry Ferguson.

The supporters used a Rangers chant against them as they celebrated a 3-1 lead.

However, the jeers were drowned out by cheers from the visiting support as Tavernier lashed the ball past Trevor Carson.
