What do you make of the James Tavernier one?

I don't know.

I'm on the fence with that because you don't know which side to believe.

James Tavernier's given a lot of detail right let me I think I think I agree more with him than what I did with the manager let me give you let me give you his statement George you'll have seen it maybe but for people who haven't so James Tavernier taking to social media that's what people like Marvin do now when they want to issue statements as well it's long it's long I'm not applying for my job

but very quickly dear fellow Rangers fans Rangers will be in my heart the rest of my life and so on I'm not skimming over the nice stuff but I just need to get to the crux of it last 24 hours most difficult and emotional of my career for myself and my family

That decision would have ruled me out of both Wednesday and Saturday's matches.

However, after speaking through Monday with my family and the medical, I came to the decision to delay the injection till Thursday so I could play one final game at Ibrox on Wednesday night.

I informed the manager, explained how important it was to me and my family to say goodbye.

I wanted to lead the lads out one last time and have my children walk out with me as mascots.

I was told it was the right decision and I deserved a proper send-off.

The manager agreed.

He knew exactly how important it was to me and my family.

Tuesday, normal training, nothing said.

My son told me how excited he was to walk out at Ibrox with his dad one last time and be a ball boy for the game.

What hurts deeply as a father is my son had sacrificed going away with the academy to his first overseas tournament in Holland because being at Ibrox for my final home game meant that much to him.

Even though my wife and I encouraged him to go and enjoy the experience, all he wanted to do was be beside his dad for one last walk out at Ibrox.

Messaged the manager Tuesday to ask whether I would start, explain my children...

were coming as mascots I was informed I'd be a substitute in that moment my emotions took over many people feel I could have handled it better I accept it but I've dedicated over a decade of my life to this club I felt deeply hurt and let down what disappointed me most was the version of events that was later presented publicly it did not reflect the conversations that had taken place privately and beforehand I believe the situation could have been handled better and so on

That's a mess.
