Rangers could lose the Old Firm match if “show pony” Todd Cantwell doesn’t stand up against Celtic, according to Peter Martin. Cantwell is anticipated to start for the Gers in Sunday’s (7 April) encounter at Ibrox, which will be crucial in deciding the winner of the title.
This season, in 23 league games, the Englishman has five goals and four assists, but he has also found it difficult to have an impact on many games. Speaking on The Journos [4 April, 18:35] on PLZ Soccer, Martin stated: “I think Cantwell needs to step up.” “I believe he is a show pony that engages in pointless games to appease the masses. He needs to take charge.
“This Celtic midfield has the potential to be really effective. Rangers are in jeopardy if they stray once more. “Celtic’s wide options and midfield will cause problems for Rangers if they get ahead.”
Todd Cantwell might be very important for Rangers against Celtic. Cantwell is naturally the subject of greater attention than many other players, maybe second only to the player who leads the attack, given his position on the team.
Whether he is setting up goals for teammates or just creating opportunities for himself, the creative midfielder is there to make things happen for the club. Cantwell is a huge difference maker when he’s on his game. But when he’s not feeling it, that can be seen from all sides.
Although Martin is correct to point up Cantwell as a potential game-changing element, labeling him a “show pony” is inaccurate. The 26-year-old assisted Cyriel Dessers’ goal against Hibernian last Saturday, ending a run of four games without a direct goal involvement.
Hopefully, he will enter this enormous match with some confidence and be able to demonstrate his true abilities.
