He didn't kick a ball the last time Celtic and Rangers met. He played just 21 minutes the time before that. Yet, still, Todd Cantwell emerged at the centre of major talking points on both occasions.
The former Norwich standout has a knack of finding his way into the headlines whenever a derby contest rolls around. Whether it's what he says - "Shushburger please", whatever that is - what he doesn't say in interviews more recently, what he did on the pitch, why he wasn't on the pitch or even why Chris Sutton isn't the best pundit in Scottish football . The Rangers midfielder craves the spotlight when it comes to Celtic and Rangers matches, and that's no bad thing.
Well, at least not when you're having relative success. The problem is, Rangers haven't had much of it against Celtic. In seven outings against Celtic, Cantwell has won once and drawn once.
That leaves five defeats, increased to six if you include the most recent Scottish Premiership fixture when Cantwell failed to come off the bench. All this is not to suggest Cantwell is by any means a poor footballer or the issue for Rangers, far from it. The former England under-21 player is by all accounts one of the most technically gifted at Ibrox - and in the country - but he hasn't shown it when it matters.
It's a problem running through the veins of this Rangers team, when the time comes for a landmark result, too often they're posted missing - on the pitch at least. Cantwell knows the modern game, he understands the magnitu.
