The Sunday Mail’s Guidi has ripped into the midfield player and said the Gers should just be glad he’s gone from Ibrox, despite the opinions of certain analysts and supporters who believe the team should have held out for a higher transfer fee.

In an interview with The Go Radio Football Show on August 30, at 15:45, he stated: “To be honest, I think Rangers will be going out of business.”

Definitely a nice thing to go. Tell me how many times he’s grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and motivated the Rangers in crucial moments. To be really honest, I can’t think of any.

“The other thing is that your bargaining position in the market immediately takes a hit when A the player’s desire to leave is made so public and B the club banishes him with the youth or the reserves or whatever.”

For Todd Cantwell’s transfer, how much did the Rangers receive?

Cantwell is certainly worth more than the £500,000 the Gers paid to sign him, but as soon as Clement revealed that he had requested to leave Glasgow this summer, the Light Blues had little leverage in negotiations.

In the end, Rangers will have been content to have his salary removed from their records. Although they lost out on a hefty transfer fee, they will have made a significant financial gain by selling him to the Championship on deadline day.

The midfielder meandered through games at Ibrox far too frequently, as Guidi says. While he occasionally shown flashes of brilliance, they were extremely rare and nearly never occurred in the most important games.

It is hoped that the players who have been signed to take the place of the departing Englishman will perform better when wearing a Rangers uniform.

If not, some supporters will probably argue that more ought to have been done to extend Cantwell’s stay in Glasgow past the end of August.

In other Rangers news, Robin Propper responded to the confirmation of one deadline day departure at Ibrox at the end of the summer transfer window.
