RANGERS decided yesterday that James Tavernier was worth more to them than the £2m West Bromwich Albion were prepared to offer and on this evidence their fiscal calculations were sound. While the riches on offer in the Europa League are nowhere near as bounteous as those up for grabs in the Champions League, the club captain reinforced his value to the Ibrox side with an accomplished personal display and a second half penalty as Steven Gerrard’s side racked up a first-leg lead to take to Slovenia in this third-round qualifying tie. While they aren’t quite free of the curse of Maribor just yet, it was the late third goal on the night from Lassana Coulibaly which really might prove priceless in the final reckoning.
