Cantwell’s career gauntlet, Rangers love in with Celtic Euro rival and £5m trigger unlocks return – Ibrox news bulletin
Todd Cantwell, a former player for the Rangers, has been informed he needs to provide goals to help Blackburn Rovers elevate his career. On deadline day, the playmaker signed with the English Championship team after being benched by former manager Philippe Clement for a transfer request. In the weekend’s victory over Bristol City, the 26-year-old made his Blackburn debut after leaving the Scottish Premiership. However, Cantwell’s teammate Ryan Hedges has cautioned the newcomers that they will need to score this season following the loss of prolific scorer Sammie Szmodics to Ipswich Town last summer.
“We’ve lost 33 goals from last season,” he declared. Somehow, we have to replace that. The majority of the first four miss the mark. It may be ten to fifteen from three or four participants; it doesn’t have to be thirty from one person. Every player who has joined has had a very favorable effect. It’s evident what they provide.”
After the failed move to bring in Davy Klaassen, Rangers appear to be in the free agent market as Clement looks to add experience to his squad. A player who looks set become available is Ryan Kent.
According to reports, the Fenerbahce winger rejected a summer transfer to Scotland in order to hold out for a lucrative £5 million contract. According to Medyatava, the Istanbul giants have “decided to terminate” Kent’s contract, meaning the 27-year-old is no longer involved with the team under Jose Mourinho. In other news, Slovan Bratislava manager Vladimir Weiss acknowledges that his son still has feelings for the Light Blues and that he would love nothing more than to surprise Celtic in their Champions League opening.
In 2011, Vladimir Jr. went on loan to Ibrox, where he contributed to Walter Smith’s team’s historic league and cup double. However, if he upsets their rivals at Parkhead, the 34-year-old might further enhance his image among the Rangers’ ardent supporters. His father and the club manager acknowledge that the two still discuss his time in Govan, saying, “We’ve talked about Celtic and Rangers our entire lives. My son, who still supports Rangers as a fan, was a player for the team and will play Celtic. “He has the best memories of Rangers because they won two trophies when he was here. Additionally, the Celtic derby is the greatest of all time.”
