JAMES TAVERNIER is gearing up for an 'electric' night at Ibrox as Rangers get their Europa League campaign off and running against Lyon.
The champions warmed up for the visit of their Group A rivals with a 2-1 win over St Johnstone on Saturday.
Tavernier scored the winner for Steven Gerrard's side after Kemar Roofe had cancelled out Michael O'Halloran's opener at McDiarmid Park.
Lyon are now next on the agenda for Rangers and the Light Blues skipper knows it will be an occasion to savour as Gerrard's side return to European action.
Tavernier told RangersTV: "It is recovery now and look forward to Thursday. It is at Ibrox, the first Europa League game in the group stages.
"We know the fans are going to be right behind us and it is going to be an electric night.
"The boys will be fired up for this one. We can't wait."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
