Rangers’ Todd Cantwell credits teammate Abdallah Sima for his opening goal against Motherwell in Sunday’s match. The Light Blues were already leading with an early Kieran Dowell goal when Sima controlled Ridvan Yilmaz’s cross and set up Cantwell for the goal in the 16th minute. The win brings Rangers within two points of cinch Premiership leaders Celtic, with a game in hand, ahead of their match against Ross County on Wednesday.
Cantwell, a former Norwich player, expressed his confidence in his goal-scoring abilities and thanked Sima for his crucial role in setting up the goal. He emphasized that he practices frequently to capitalize on such opportunities and is pleased to have taken advantage of this one. Cantwell also reiterated his focus on contributing to the game with both goals and assists, recognizing the importance of his position on the team.
While Cantwell appreciates the value of scoring goals, he does not place excessive pressure on himself to do so. He highlighted the squad’s resilience and character and admitted that the match against Motherwell was challenging. However, he and the team are eager to return to Ibrox for their upcoming matchup on Wednesday.
Rangers’ victory at Fir Park on Sunday was an important step in their pursuit of cinch Premiership leaders Celtic. Cantwell’s goal, set up by Sima, contributed to securing the win and narrowing the points difference between the two teams. The team’s upcoming match against Ross County presents another opportunity for Rangers to strengthen their position in the league.
After his successful goal against Motherwell, Cantwell’s focus remains on consistent performance and contributing to the team’s success. As he looks ahead to future matches, he maintains his dedication to honing his skills and seizing opportunities on the field. With the support of his teammates and the guidance of the manager, Cantwell is poised to make further contributions to the team’s performance in the ongoing cinch Premiership season.
