Rangers are top of the Scottish Premier League after winning 3-0 this weekend and Micah Richards has been impressed by some of their players.

The Gers are flying above Celtic after winning seven on the bounce and are well in contention to finally dethrone the Bhoys at the top of the table.

New manager Philippe Clement has managed to really get a grip on things and there is now a very realistic chance that Rangers can go on and win the title.

Key to their chances and their form of late has been former Norwich midfielder, Todd Cantwell. The 25-year-old is playing very well and has hit the back of the net four times in his last seven games.

And speaking about Cantwell on the Rest Is Football podcast, Micah Richards had some high praise for the midfielder.

“Cantwell is a player you know. I know he was at Norwich and has played at various teams but he has got something. Especially for that league. He is a real star,” Richards said.

Todd Cantwell back to his best for Rangers

There was a good reason why Rangers signed Todd Cantwell in the first place. His form at Norwich was excellent and he’d been a standout performer in a team that was really poor the year they went down.

It’s taken a bit of time for him to find his very best form with Rangers but under Clement, he looks to be the real deal once again.

Cantwell has that rare quality in midfield players of being able to drift seamlessly into attacking positions and score crucial goals in big moments. For Rangers, that is vital and he’s shown in recent weeks how good he can be with that.

Consistency is now the key for Cantwell and if he can keep up his current form, that Scottish title will be within reach.
