TODD Cantwell insists he will cherish the feeling of his first Ibrox experience for the rest of his life after the midfielder made his debut for Rangers in this afternoon’s 2-0 victory over St. Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership.
The 24-year-old joined the club from Norwich City earlier this week and manager Michael Beale wasted no time in handing the Englishman his first Rangers start as he played a starring role in the team’s convincing victory over the Perth outfit at Ibrox.
Speaking to RangersTV after the triumph, Cantwell reflected on an unforgettable experience: “It was goosebumps. I walked out and I thought I would have it all under control, but it's something that I'll hold for a very long time and hopefully for my whole life.
“It was wonderful to be out there and on the pitch. The three points are the most important thing. I haven't played since November and today was a little bit a case of blowing off the cobwebs. I loved it and I can see myself doing well and I'm looking forward of showing the best version of me.”
The midfielder was involved in a terrific second goal for the Light Blues, finding Alfredo Morelos with a ball to feet before the Colombian flicked the ball around the corner for Glen Kamara to finish with aplomb.
Cantwell continued: “These lads have played together for a while. I think you can see that in the connection between Glen and Alfredo playing the touch around the corner. It was a really well worked goal.
"Credit to St. Johnstone and how they played with ten men. At times we were a little bit sloppy on the ball and that's a building block. All in all, it was good to get the three points.”
