For the first thirty-five minutes of Rangers’ match against Aris Limassol, Kris Boyd did not believe Todd Cantwell was the worst player on the team.
The decision was made following the midfielder’s substitution by manager Philippe Clement on Thursday, November 30, shortly after the game’s half-hour mark.
The move was made after Shavy Babicka’s goal in the 28th minute put the hosts behind the Cypriots 1-0 at Ibrox.
“Clement is done with Cantwell!” Boyd stated on Sky Sports News, which was cited by Sky Sports on November 30, at 8:36 p.m. “He’s not playing around.
“Clement isn’t carrying any passengers, but I didn’t think Cantwell was the worst player in the first thirty-five minutes.”
heinous choice
Nobody wants to be substituted off the field early in a game, particularly one as important as the one that took place in the Europa League.
Therefore, Cantwell would definitely be furious with his manager’s choice, as it is obvious that he wasn’t satisfied with the way things were going at Ibrox at the time.
Maybe the man in the home dugout was just not happy with Cantwell, who did contribute to the visitors’ goal in the first half because he gave up possession right before the ball found its way into the net.
However, substituting teenage winger Ross McCausland for the former Norwich City player may have also been a tactical move.
And it turned out to be a brilliant choice on Clement’s part, as the hosts’ early second-half equalizer came from Northern Ireland international McCausland.
However, that was the end of the scoring at Ibrox, as the two teams settled for a draw in their 1-1 group stage match in Glasgow.
