Todd Cantwell Rangers injury hammer blow as star ruled out for up to a MONTH

Rangers have suffered yet another injury blow with Todd Cantwell ruled out for up to four weeks.

The former Norwich City man has been key to the Ibrox side’s recent success but came off in the win over St Johnstone, in which he was also instrumental, and Light Blues boss Philippe Clement revealed Cantwell will be sidelined with a hamstring injury.
