Todd Cantwell’s recent transfer request from Rangers has stirred up controversy, drawing criticism from pundits and former players alike. Kris Boyd, a prominent figure on Sky Sports, has voiced strong opinions in his Scottish Sun column, accusing Cantwell of displaying a “big time” attitude following Philippe Clement’s revelation of his desire to leave the club.
Boyd didn’t mince words, suggesting that Cantwell’s failure to consistently perform on the pitch justified doubts about his suitability for Rangers. He highlighted Cantwell’s off-field behavior and social media presence as contributing factors that reinforced negative perceptions about the midfielder.
“In his performances, Cantwell only confirmed the criticisms leveled against him,” Boyd remarked. “This situation has unfortunately proven Chris Sutton correct in his assessment that Cantwell lacks the mentality required to succeed at Rangers.”
The 26-year-old midfielder, once touted as a promising asset during Michael Beale’s tenure, has seen his fortunes decline under Clement’s leadership. Amidst controversies and a reported strained relationship with the manager, Cantwell’s future at Ibrox has been uncertain throughout the summer transfer window.
Sources indicate that Clement, despite claiming a positive relationship with Cantwell, publicly acknowledged the player’s request to leave, hinting at underlying tensions within the squad.
As speculation mounts over Cantwell’s next move, Rangers fans and pundits continue to debate his legacy at the club. Whether Cantwell will fulfill his potential elsewhere remains to be seen, but his time at Ibrox has undoubtedly been contentious.
