Both Rangers and their captain, James Tavernier, are poised to break two remarkable penalty records in a single season, surpassing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona in the process.

Tavernier has successfully converted 11 penalty kicks in the Scottish Premiership this season, trailing just behind the 12 scored in two separate seasons by Real Madrid legend Ronaldo.

As the title race intensifies, the betting company http://www.bestanonymouscasinos.com/ predicts that the Ibrox captain is highly likely to surpass the Portuguese hero in his team's seven remaining league matches.

Tavernier has been given odds of 7/4 to match the record tonight at Dundee, if the game gets the all-clear, and 8/1 to score from the spot twice at Dens Park, potentially overtaking CR7.

Despite missing three league penalties this season, Tavernier could have already surpassed Ronaldo's record, even before the season split.

Moreover, Rangers are on track to break another impressive record if they are awarded five more penalties in all competitions this season. Currently standing at 19 penalties, they are just four behind the 23 penalties awarded to Barcelona in 2015/16. With seven league fixtures remaining and potentially nine more matches including the Scottish Cup semi-finals, Rangers are priced at 2/1 to reach 24 penalties by the end of the season.

Last weekend, Tavernier made history as the highest-scoring defender in the history of British football with 131 career goals, indicating that his record-breaking achievements are far from over. Ronaldo previously scored 12 league penalties in a single season twice in his career, once for Real Madrid in 2011/12 and again for Juventus in 2019/20.

A Bet Anonymous Casinos spokesman said: "Penalty to Rangers has become one of the most used phrases in Scottish football and now it could become a world record term.

"The stats are remarkable, and with nine games left in all competitions, it's quite conceivable that they will overtake the Barcelona record.

"However, it looks even more likely that James Tavernier will score two more league penalties in the remaining seven Premiership fixtures and that is reflected in the price."
