Ibrox Exclusive: Form Rangers star set to be handed a dream boost just hours before Benfica kick-off
Shortly before Benfica’s Europa League visit, England boss Gareth Southgate will inform Rangers goalkeeper Jack
Butland of his fate with the Three Lions.
The Portuguese powerhouses will be hosted by the Gers in Glasgow ahead of the much awaited Europa League
Round of 16 final at the storied Ibrox Stadium.
With the score tied at 2-2, the game is definitely in the balance, and by 5:45 p.m. on Thursday,
everyone will be watching Govan.
However, rumors have it that Jack Butland may be keeping an eye on his phone in the hours before the game in
hopes of getting called up to the England team.
Jack Butland to find out England fate
Thursday, March 14, at 2:00 p.m., according to the Metro.
Jack Butland’s preparations will have an additional element as Rangers prepare to play Benfica
in the Europa League in less than four hours.
Any call-up would be a huge bonus, but we’re confident the Rangers goalie will be completely focused on giving
Benfica another outstanding performance.
Gareth Southgate has lauded Jack Butland’s comeback at Rangers, and indications indicate that a call-up is likely for the England goalie.
Rangers goalkeeper on verge of history?
Jack Butland, who has nine caps, hasn’t played in an England team in more than five years, so a call-up this week—as
he celebrates his 31st birthday—would be a true monument to his development at Rangers.
One of the season’s biggest additions, the goalkeeper has laid the groundwork for the team’s comeback under
Philippe Clement with a string of outstanding performances.
Prior to Euro 2024, Butland will face fierce competition from players like Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron
Ramsdale (Arsenal), and Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace). However,
the England goalkeeper has made it plain that he would welcome a call-up.
Jack Butland would be the first active Rangers player to be called up for Three Lions duty since Paul Gascoigne,
should he be called up to the England squad.
In relation to international call-ups, Butland’s Rangers teammate is jubilant at being
called back to his country’s group.
