Rangers boss Danny Rohl has been speaking to the media before his side host Motherwell on Saturday. Here are the key lines: Rohl says it will be a "beautiful moment" and the "biggest goodbye" should outgoing skipper James Tavernier lead the club to the title in his final season. He says Tavernier made the final decision on his future and although there's never "good timing" for such announcements, it's good to get "clarity".
Asked if he would have like Tavernier to stay, Rohl replies: "This is not a topic for today. " The German adds on Tavernier: "Since I've been here he was a good captain for us, he leads the group on and off the pitch. He is a legend of the club and made an amazing career here.
He spoke to the group and I think the most important thing is now we have 21 days to go, five games, focus on these five games and then he will have an incredible goodbye, what he deserved. " Tuur Rommens and Ryan Naderi - who is back "sooner than expected" - are set to be fit in time to play some part in the title run-in. Rohl says: "For the weekend they are not available, but it looks very positive for the four games after.
