‘Major’ – Newspaper reveals what Jack Butland has been told at Rangers
According to The Mirror, Jack Butland has received a “major” boost from England because of his Rangers
performance, which puts him in a great position to qualify for Euro 2024.
The 30-year-old, who played for the Gers on a free contract last summer, has been outstanding since earning the
most recent of his nine caps five years ago.
In the print edition of The Mirror [8 February, page 50], Andy Newport wrote an article titled “Jack Butland has
been handed a major England boost after being told he is in the running for a dream Euros recall.”
Jack is undoubtedly being watched, according to England goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson, who is quoted in
the story. That is without a doubt the case.
Jack Butland’s England Euro 2024 competition
Butland could join a fairly short list of Rangers players to have represented England while still active at Ibrox.
Moving north of the border, the former Birmingham City goalkeeper most likely did not anticipate that his
possibilities of playing internationally would improve.
However, it just goes to show that any player, including Butland, can have their career revitalized by moving to Scottish football.
Although Butland is more than capable of earning a spot in the squad, he won’t be able to unseat Jordan Pickford as England’s first choice prior to the Euros.
Butland has a strong chance of being selected because Nick Pope is recovering from
a long-term injury and Aaron Ramsdale isn’t playing for Arsenal on a regular basis.
If Butland’s efforts pay off at the end of the season, supporters will be happy, but hopefully not at the expense of his reputation.
But the Gers rejected some interest in him back in January, so perhaps the team will hold tough in the event that any bids are received.
In unrelated Rangers news, Roy Keane and Gary Neville sparred at Ibrox.
