The playmaker's proclamations ring hollow as his dream after his Ibrox career ends now appears an impossibility.
That was the verdict of Todd Cantwell on the night he scored against Sparta Prague and helped reignite his side's Europa League hopes last October. But his fairytale in Ibrox has turned sour over the following nine months and the final chapter is inbound as he now wants out after handing in a transfer request.
Was that the start of the end? Perhaps. Cantwell would remain a regular contributor despite not starting either of the final two league games against Celtic. It's almost impossible to avoid scrutiny in Glasgow when you're rewriting the local lexicon by serving up 'shushburgers' on social media. As daft as that was, branding a fan a 'weapon' on Instagram was his personal nadir.
But, maybe, Cantwell's biggest miscalculation about how Rangers truly operates and how former players are remembered was when he opined he would be a true blue for ever last year. Yes, Cantwell may well retain a soft spot for Ibrox life after forcing his own exit but the likelihood it will be reciprocated by a fanbase who have overlooked his knack for big boasts is on the low side.
