Philippe Clement hints at real reason Todd Cantwell wants to quit Rangers

PHLIIPPE CLEMENT has put a little more meat on the bone when it comes to the reasons why Todd Cantwell has submitted a transfer request.

And he’s hinted that it’s more of a Scotland problem than simply a Rangers one.

We told you the bombshell news a month ago that the boss had sent the former Norwich playmaker to play with the Gers B-team following talks over his future at Ibrox.

Cantwell was spotted with the first-team at their Netherlands pre-season training camp – but it soon transpired that he had submitted TWO requests to leave this summer.

“Todd made his own opinion about things, why he doesn’t want to stay in Scotland. 

“And I don’t speak only about Rangers, it’s more Scotland, why he wanted to leave. 

“So those are decisions made for me.” 

Meanwhile Ben Davies and Rabbi Matondo are finally set to lead the Ibrox summer exodus – leaving Philippe Clement with seven days to complete his Rangers rebuild.

Davies is poised to complete a loan move to Birmingham, while Matondo is set for a permanent switch to Blackburn.

“I don’t know. 

“I know things, of course, but I will not go into rumours until things are signed, until things are sure. 

“So I cannot say anything about that now.

“At the end, I don’t know which bids come in. 

“I really don’t know. Because I’m not interested in that. 

“I’m busy with the squad, with the team.

“There’s no reason for me to know every bid that comes in for a player or for what amount, because I’m not at the end the one who makes the decisions about the money in the club.”
