Todd Cantwell continues perfect response to ruthless Philippe Clement axe as Rangers news emerges
Philippe Clement has completely turned things around at Rangers since taking over from the struggling Michael Beale.
The Belgian is now unbeaten from his first 10 matches in charge, which is a superb record given the state of things on the pitch under his predecessor.
But he now faces one of his biggest tasks yet as he takes his side to Tynecastle to take on Hearts on Wednesday (6 December).
Steven Naismith’s men currently sit third in the Scottish Premiership table, eight points behind the Gers in second. Clement does, however, have an in-form Todd Cantwell among his ranks, with the midfielder hugely impressive against St Mirren last time out.
On-loan attacker Abdallah Sima netted both goals in the 2-0 win at Ibrox on Sunday (3 December), with Cantwell assisting both.
It was the perfect response from the midfielder given his torrid time against Aris Limassol on Thursday (30 November), with Clement replacing him with youngster Ross McCausland just 36 minutes into that Europa League clash.
Cantwell was keen to prove a point to his boss in the following match against St Mirren, and he certainly did that, with the midfield ace now earning a deserved spot in the cinch SPFL Team of the Week (6 December).
With McCausland scoring off the bench against Aris Limassol, and with Cantwell then shining against St Mirren, it proved to be a fine decision from Clement in the end.
The man in the dugout now has it all to do again in terms of big decisions in a must-win clash against Hearts as he looks to close the gap between his side and Celtic in the table.
