Former Celtic attacker Tony Watt believes that Rangers full-back James Tavernier must be a dream for strikers to play with.

Tavernier has come in for criticism in recent weeks due to high profile errors and a penalty miss, with his mistakes having cost Rangers.   

 



However, the full-back is renowned for his attacking play and regularly provides assists for his Rangers team-mates.

Tavernier provided the assist for Rangers' second goal in their 3-0 Scottish League Cup semi-final win over Hearts on Sunday, as he fed Alfredo Morelos in the six yard box.
 


He also threatened to score himself, with Hearts goalkeeper Joel Pereira needing to be in good form to keep him out.



Rangers will now face Watt's former club Celtic in the final of the Scottish League Cup and the attacker is wary of Tavernier.

He feels the full-back must be a dream for strikers to play with.

Watt wrote on Twitter: "Regardless of the stick Tavernier gets. He must be a strikers dream to play alongside.

"Sets up so many chances."

With Rangers and Celtic now set to collide in the final, excitement is growing, with Bhoys legend Chris Sutton dubbing the encounter "mouthwatering".

He wrote: "Mouthwatering Celtic v Rangers Betfred Cup Final.

"Rangers excellent today… different team this season under Steven Gerrard…"
