Rangers fans were left less than impressed with Todd Cantwell‘s performance in the Viaplay Cup final against Aberdeen, branding it “hopeless” and “useless” on social media. While James Tavernier’s decisive second-half goal secured the cup win and Philippe Clement’s first silverware as manager, Cantwell faced criticism for his lack of cutting-edge and inability to showcase the class he’s known for.
Despite the euphoria of securing the trophy and the opportunity to go top of the table after Celtic’s defeat to Hearts, fans did not shy away from expressing their disappointment with Cantwell’s display. Some supporters highlighted his history of underwhelming performances in significant matches and criticized him as a “passenger” in the final.
The sentiment on social media was one of frustration, with fans suggesting that Cantwell and Cyriel Dessers might struggle to make an impact, particularly in the third tier. One fan went as far as describing Cantwell’s outing as “poor” and expressed the desire to see him substituted, a wish that was granted when Clement brought on Sam Lammers in the 82nd minute.
Despite the victory and the overall positive atmosphere surrounding the team, the dissatisfaction with Cantwell’s performance was palpable among some Rangers supporters. It remains to be seen how the midfielder, who has shown flashes of brilliance in the past, responds to the critique and whether he can regain the favor of the Ibrox faithful in future outings.
