Todd Cantwell told his Rangers fate hinges on clear Clement demand as star challenged to become 'difference maker'

Todd Cantwell is a Rangers 'different-maker' - but he may have to wear a few hats under Philippe Clement. And while it was a welcome sight for Ibrox hero and Record Sport columnist Barry Ferguson to see the 25-year-old playmakerreintroduced by Clement against St Mirren after being mercilessly hooked against Aris Limassol, he reckons there must be more to Cantwell's game if he is to satisfy the Belgian further.

The Englishman was visibly irked by being hooked after 35 minutes in Europe but he took up a central midfield role against the Buddies and responded with two assists as Abdallah Sima netted a double for Rangers.

Now Ferguson wants to see Cantwell's name on the team sheet every week, but harked back to his Ibrox days to give the example of a former team mate who was forced to fill in different positions with injuries.

He reckons Clement may have asked the same of his playmaker in order to put his best foot forward when on the pitch. He told Go Radio: "In the first half he was quiet, coming a bit too deep, you saw the difference in the second half he was in connection with the forward players.
