BREAKING NEWS:A Star made 43 appearances for Rangers this season, conceding 31 goals and keeping 22 clean sheets.

Jack Butland made an incredible save in Kilmarnock to send a message to England manager Gareth Southgate as Rangers’ hold on the

top spot was in jeopardy. The Gers were behind 1-0 at Rugby Park going into halftime, and the game against Derek McInnes’s resolute

and well-organized Kilmarnock team seemed doubtful for the team. Butland has subsequently disclosed that Rangers’ goals at

halftime were refocused as the team found it difficult to settle against Killie, who were deserving of their lead.

However, Rangers might have ultimately failed in 2024 under Philippe Clement if the goalkeeper hadn’t produced an incredible save

to deny Kilmarnock’s Marley Watkins shortly into the second half.

The way Jack Butland stooped down to stop Watkins’ goal-bound shot encapsulates the reason England boss Gareth Southgate is

keeping a watch on the Rangers goalkeeper for Euro 2024.

Nine-time cap winner Jack Butland hasn’t played for the Three Lions in more than five years, and rumors have it that he may be called

up for the upcoming friendly against Brazil and Belgium. Gareth Southgate only had to take a quick look at Rangers’ eventual 2-1

triumph over Kilmarnock to be convinced of the goalkeeper’s ability to win games.If Jack Butland hadn’t stopped the Kilmarnock

striker, Rangers would have faced a daunting task of two goals and would have even lost their lead in the Scottish Premiership.

Rangers goalkeeper plays crucial Kilmarnock role

It was a monumental contribution from the Rangers goalkeeper and wasn’t missed by Killie boss Derek McInnes.

The Killie manager claimed the quality exemplified by the Jack Butland save was the difference between the two sides and the Rangers

goalkeeper himself was asked about the moment after the game.“To be honest it was a huge moment,” Butland told RangersTV. “I

think the lad thought he had scored, so it is nice to have that moment and that can sometimes take the wind out of a team’s sails as

well.
