Even if neither of them quite admitted to it, their relationship in Glasgow turned sour not long after the Belgian took over.

Cantwell was a key player under the man who signed him, Michael Beale, but he was often played out of position or left out completely by Clement.

In a press conference after the pre-season game against Birmingham City, Clement claimed that Cantwell had asked for a transfer.

But Cantwell refuted that notion.

And rather surprisingly, Cantwell opened the door to a sensational return to Rangers one day.

In any case, he seems to be enjoying life at his new club.

Cantwell has been playing regularly when fit for Blackburn Rovers and today he grabbed his first goal for the Lancashire side.
