Breaking News:Todd Cantwell wants to leave Rangers and ‘look for another adventure’
Rangers manager Philippe Clement revealed Todd Cantwell has asked for a transfer after the midfielder was again absent during a 2-1 friendly defeat by Birmingham City.
The Light Blues lost at St Andrew’s in a tribute match for Trevor Francis and Clement volunteered the information about former Norwich midfielder Cantwell during a Rangers TV interview.
James Tavernier scored an own goal as Rangers conceded twice in the first half before Scott Wright pulled one back in front of about 7,000 travelling fans.
Clement said he was “totally not happy with the first half” and added: “Of course it’s a pre-season game so we have players like Danilo who has had seven months out. We cannot expect wonders of him for the moment. He misses a bit of the speed and power he had before and we have to build him up.
“Also, we need to find solutions in the number 10 position. Alex Lowry played there but he has to make steps to get in the first-team squad and to be more aggre
ssive.”
Clement, who also left out the likes of Connor Goldson, added: “If you see how many young players who are playing for the first time at this level, we had 13 players from the academy, it will only make them hungrier.
“We kept a lot of players in Glasgow to train hard because they need that.”
