Todd Cantwell 'doesn't respect' Rangers or Philippe Clement as Chris Sutton 'lost for words' over interview

Chris Sutton reckons Todd Cantwell is acting like a victim as he fired back at barbs from the Rangers star.

The Ibrox midfielder launched a bizarre attack on the Record Sport columnist this week. Cantwell called Sutton an “attention seeker” and insisted the ex-Celtic striker only started a feud with him to “stay relevant.” But Sutton admits he was almost lost for words at some of the Ibrox star’s statements and was left bemused at the selfish timing of the outburst just as new manager Philippe Clement was walking in the door.

He said: “Todd Cantwell either doesn’t respect his Rangers team-mates or he doesn’t think. Which one is it? I couldn’t care less, but I’m sure Philippe Clement, who looks worthy of real respect and has an impressive track record, would rather he concentrated on his football Cantwell left me almost lost for words. Almost. I could barely believe what I was hearing.

“The words? Incredible. The timing? Well that almost beggars belief.

“I honestly don’t know where he’s going with all of this. It’s never his fault. It’s like he’s a victim.

“It’s just another look-at-me episode from a lad who is known more for what does on Tik Tok than what he’s done on the pitch. The frustrating thing is that for someone who to date has had a bang average career, he doesn’t half have a high opinion of himself.

“Nothing is ever his fault. I’m not interested in personal squabbles, so let’s just deal in facts. Cantwell said that I had been calling him amazing during his days at Norwich. I praised him during a good spell he was having in the Premier League.

“He deserved that praise, he was playing well at the time, but it didn’t last. Four Norwich managers didn’t see enough. Daniel Farke, Dean Smith, caretaker Alan Russell
