Keith Jackson: Clement does not suit Rangers star after new transfer decision

Daily Record journalist Keith Jackson believes that Rangers ace Todd Cantwell and his manager Philippe Clement “don’t suit” one another.

This comes after Cantwell has recently handed in a transfer request at Ibrox, as he looks for a way out of Govan this summer [Sky Sports].

Speaking on the Record Sport’s Hotline (30 July), Jackson stated that Clement hasn’t created a system that works in Cantwell’s favour.

“For me, Todd Cantwell is certainly if not the most talented, creative, and attacking player (at Rangers),” said Jackson.

“I don’t think Clement has put a system together that suits Cantwell, I don’t think the two of them suit each other, actually.”

As Jackson said, the former Norwich man is one of the Gers’ most creative players and he will no doubt be a sore miss around the camp.

Although his time with the Glasgow-based outfit has been somewhat tarnished by things such as Cantwell’s interactions with fans on social media, when he’s in the zone, he’s without doubt one of the club’s best players.

The Gers are undergoing a major rebuild this summer and are planning ahead for the future with additions such as Connor Barron and Jefte making their way into Clement’s squad.

Another thing that hasn’t likely helped Cantwell whilst with the Gers is the fact that Clement wasn’t the man who brought him in.

In reality, this shouldn’t affect much, but, when managers have clear ideas in mind, and certain players don’t fit, they can often be outcasted.

Whilst the loss of Cantwell will no doubt be hard to take, the money they are likely to receive for his transfer will help improve the team across the board and perhaps even help them challenge Celtic to the title.
