Trapped in a cage- Cantwell fires fresh attack at Phil Clement

Todd Cantwell has made another plea for attention to Phil Clement after being substituted during Sunday’s victory over Kilmarnock.

With the homeside leading 2-1 the Ibrox boss decided in the 68th minute to replace the former Norwich starlet with Tom Lawrence.

It was another public humiliation for Tik Tok who went through his full Drama Queen routine, hands were on hips, he looked around for sympathy then walked off slowly avoiding eye contact with his manager.

Late on Monday night Cantwell took to the arena he feels most comfortable with- Instagram- with a deep and meaningful message to highlight his plight.

After his outstanding performance against Hearts in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup it seems that Cantwell feels entitled to have Clement’s team build around his dubious talents.

His mood won’t have been helped by substitute Tom Lawrence scoring three minutes after replacing TikTok against Kilmarnock.

With the stakes sky-high on Saturday it looks increasingly likely that Cantwell will start Saturday’s match on the bench with Dujon Sterling expected to join John Lundstram and Mohamad Diomanse in midfield.

Further self-pitying on social media is unlikely to go down well with Clement who substituted Cantwell just 37 minutes into the Europa League tie at home to ARIS Limassol in one of his first matches in charge.

During the summer Clement will probably be happy to move on the former Norwich ace but it is unlikely that any English club will match Cantwell’s Ibrox wages.
