Danny Rohl insists he has no issue with other members of the Rangers squad showing their support for James Tavernier.

After the Ibrox captain released a statement on his version of events from Wednesday night as a dispute with Rohl cast a shadow over his goodbye to supporters, several members of the squad showed unity by liking his post.

That could have given off the impression they were backing him over the head coach, but Rohl insists he doesn't see it that way and doesn't take it personally.

He said: "I think in general, in this part, it's about... I take it more in this way, it showed how strong the relationship is between the players. I think this is always great.



"I don't take it personally, if there is a like or not a like, I think. And that's also not... And this is what I take, and if there is a like or repost or something like this, then it's more about... It's not this or this side for me. I

"Yeah, and if you see the picture from the statement, then you can also see, OK, maybe this is about the emotional side, and it's the reason why they like this emotional goodbye."

Rohl insists he has always had a strong relationship with his captain, adding: "100 per cent. From my side, I think he was last week in my office, he was before the Celtic game in my office, we spoke. I shared some thoughts about the game, and I said this in public here, that I respect him for what he did.

"I think I used the word of an agent of a club for a long, long time. From my point of view, there was never a problem with him, because I always try to have the best relationship with my captain, because he is the guy who leads the group."
