I think he just falls into this category, as we did at least get a couple of good years out of him (even though I do think he upset the balance of the team when he was first shoe horned into it), but same time he was never really cut out for international football (had he had that yard or two of extra pace, then he would have probably been more suited).

Have to say if I was given the choice I'd rather call up someone in Tavernier's position than a player who's first trip to Scotland was the squad training session.

Tavernier as a player is inferior to both - so no thanks even if he is eligible. Tavernier is a better RB than either of those two players. He’s not Scottish though so he shouldn’t be playing for Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Is this home nations agreement documented anywhere? My brain dread hun mate is convinced this is a potential option for us and refuses to accept the home nations agreement is in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wikipedia page is pretty comprehensive... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_eligibility_rules Basically there's no chance Tavernier can play for us unless Scotland becomes independent.

Or we apply to change the rules and have it reworded, with the rest of the home nations. We did this with the 5 years residency upto 18. It can be done but there is no chance, we will do this though. It would literally be a rule change for Tavernier. Every half decent non Scot, playing up here is either capped or leaves in 2/3 years.

IIRC a survey broke it all down by each club Rangers were 45% yes, in line with the Scottish average. But they were the lowest yes supporting fan base. I thought they would have been much lower and was surprised at how high the yes support was. If I have time I'll try find the link, bit it was a guid few years ago, some might call it a generation ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be a bit lower too but I also know alot of rangers fans who are pro independence. I would of guessed that about 30-35% would be pro indy. I would say football being a working class support would be very supportive of independence. I reckon celtic and some of your other west of Scotland clubs would have the highest majorities in favour of indy. I barely know any celtic fans who are no voters.

I know that Scott Brown was told by the club not to come out in public in favour of Yes... I found that a little strange seeing as they pretend they're Irish, you'd expect them to LOVE the idea of "breaking up Britain". Would have been fantastic to have the Celtic and Scotland captain publicly supporting Independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powers-that-be within Celtic and Rangers don't want us to get independence, as it'll scupper their chances of joining the EPL. If one of their captains came out and endorced independence, it would against their agenda. Edited January 8, 2021 by Taylor1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
