In a heartwarming encounter, a Rangers-mad grandmother met her hero, James Tavernier, and even gave Barry Ferguson some training tips.
The grandmother, who is an avid Rangers fan, was overjoyed when she met Tavernier, the club’s captain, at a recent event. She couldn’t contain her excitement as she hugged Tavernier and praised him for his performances on the pitch.
But what was even more surprising was when she turned to Barry Ferguson, a Rangers legend, and offered him some training advice. Ferguson, who is now a coach at the club, was amused by the grandmother’s suggestions and politely listened to her ideas.
The grandmother’s training tips were centered around “rattling,” a term she used to describe a high-intensity training drill. She explained to Ferguson that players should be made to run repeatedly up and down the stairs to improve their endurance.
Ferguson, who has had a storied career as a player and coach, was impressed by the grandmother’s passion and knowledge of the game. He thanked her for her suggestions and promised to take them on board.
The encounter was a testament to the strong bond between Rangers players and their fans. The grandmother’s enthusiasm and love for the club were evident, and Tavernier and Ferguson were happy to engage with her and show their appreciation for her support.
As the grandmother left the event, she was beaming with pride, knowing that she had met her hero and even given a Rangers legend some training advice. It was a day she would never forget, and one that would only strengthen her love for the club.
