The Ibrox man appeared to launch a tirade at the Hoops full-back as he was subbed during the Scottish Cup final.
The Parkhead hero wasn’t impressed by his rival’s on-pitch comments and fired-up as his side delivered the perfect riposte through Adam Idah ’s winner. Taylor’s team had the emphatic last word after the pair clashed in another feisty exchange. The Parkhead defender went in the book for decking Cantwell in the second period and had a say.
Cantwell was subbed-off just moments later, but, as he left the park, appeared to launch his own tirade at the Celtic full-back. That outburst led to the Rangers midfielder landing his own yellow card from referee Nick Walsh. Taylor admits he enjoys a bit of spice in his game, but said: “I like playing on the edge, definitely. He said a few things that I didn’t like. It was a good battle in the game, but it was important to get the win.
Controversial Cantwell’s talking didn’t stop after full-time and he was ushered away from confronting the officials after the whistle by his manager Philippe Clement. Taylor and Cantwell clashed at the end of the Old Firm Premiership game in April and the Rangers star had his recent social-media comments revived post-Hampden.
The Ibrox man posted a message about a Shushburger following his goal against Hearts at Tynecastle seven days prior to Hampden. When Taylor put an image of victorious Celtic team on his Instagram after the Final, team-mate Alistair Johnston posted a response which read: “Eating a burger tonight wee man?”
