Todd Cantwell turns Celtic mantra against them as Yuki Kobayashi's 'unnatural' Rangers goal mistake pinpointed

Ange Postecoglou's mantra is we never stop - and Neil McCann insists it's that type of mentality which allowed Todd Cantwell to star for Rangers against the champions.

The January import from Norwich City spun off the back of Yuki Kobayashi to notch his first derby goal in a 3-0 win over Celtic. John Soutar and Fashion Sakala finished off the scoring in a game of pride for the Light Blues, with Postecoglou's Celtic side having already won the Premiership and League Cup alongside a booked Scottish Cup final place.

Speaking on Sportscene, former Rangers man McCann was pleased to see his ex-side get so tight to the markers and battle for second derby balls. But it was Cantwell where the most praise was dished out, while Kobayashi came under the microscope. He explained: "Callum McGregor is the lynchpin of this Celtic side and Todd Cantwell is bolted on. Everybody is up against people, biting into challenges and getting on second balls.

"They set the tone and Todd Cantwell who has been so good, never stops, drops Matt O'Riley and gets his rewards by following it the box. Watch Kobayashi and how he spins his body.

"It is so unnatural. If he continues the way he is looking he maybe gets a block in, but he rotates around the other side and Cantwell buries it."
