Former Rangers player Todd Cantwell has stirred controversy by refusing to directly name Celtic in an interview.
The Englishman moved to Blackburn on deadline day for a fee of just £600,000.
For someone who was meant to be the best player in Scottish football and the man who Rangers should build their team around, that’s a pathetic sum.
He spent his time in Glasgow talking without delivering. From picking a fight with Chris Sutton to saying he wanted to win more than the Celtic captain did, he truly embarrassed himself.
In his comments, Cantwell avoided mentioning Celtic by name, instead referring to them as “the others”.

▫️ Not getting the better of ‘the others’
▫️ Being ‘mismanaged’ in his career

He’s clearly still quite bitter, but it’s quite amusing in all honesty.
He should’ve at least had the decency to call Celtic the Champions; after all, that’s all he ever knew them as when he was in Scotland.
Celtic have never had a player who conducted themselves in the way that Cantwell did. We do our talking on the pitch, then lift trophies at the end of the season as a reward.
There’s a reason that 26-year-old Cantwell is playing for Blackburn, despite being linked to big money Premier League moves just a few years ago.
