JAMES TAVERNIER is relishing the challenges that lie ahead for Rangers as they prepare for a busy schedule before the World Cup break.
The Light Blues will play eight matches across the month of October, which includes crucial games both domestically and in the UEFA Champions League.
Speaking exclusively to RangersTV, the captain reflected on the first portion of games this season before casting his eye ahead to the forthcoming fixtures.
He said: "We were disappointed with the Hibs game, losing the men and taking the point, from the first block of games. We didn't like the performance that we put in at Parkhead, but there's only two points in it in the league and there's a lot of games to play with it being so early in the season. The boys are raring to go to get it kicked off again.
"We're really relishing the task at hand and the games ahead. We're not far away. It's only two points and we've only played the first block of the season. There's plenty of games to play. It's down to us to keep our standards and the consistency to create a real good momentum."
Tavernier also gave an insight into what it’s looked like for the Rangers players not on international duty, adding: "We have had a whole week of training. The lads who have been away are coming back match-fit and the lads who didn't go away have been preparing right and getting the tactical side worked on more as you get more time on the training pitch."
