Cantwell joins Rangers Europa League celebrations in 'give him respect' Butland line

Todd Cantwell celebrated Rangers' Europa League triumph over Fenerbahce as he showered praise on Jack Butland.

The former Ibrox midfielder watched the match at home as Rangers claimed a penalty shoot-out win to move into the quarter-final of the UEFA competition.

Cantwell, now at Blackburn Rovers, was glued to his TV watching his former team-mates claim the special victory in Govan.

Then, following Butland's heroics in the shoot-out, Cantwell celebrated the win for his former club.

Demanding Butland is given respect, Cantwell posted: "Give him his respect, he's absolutely magnificent that's my f***ing boy!"

Previously discussing his Rangers transfer exit, Cantwell said: "I thrived in the environment at Rangers but circumstances changed, different people were in charge and it didn't feel right any more.

"I'm proud of myself for taking that step [the transfer request] because the younger me would probably have sat for another season, and it might have been a season that I looked back on and say I lost."
