The Ibrox veteran is happy that Butland’s Premier League overlook helped his former team.
According to John Brown, Jack Butland, the custodian for Rangers, is good enough to start as number one for Manchester United. The Englishman, who Gareth Southgate announced last week has fought his way back into his Three Lions’ thoughts after a stellar start to his career in Govan, has a tremendous fan base in the Ibrox great.
After spending a season on the bench at Old Trafford while on loan from Crystal Palace and the United boss’ decision to raid for Cameroon international Andre Onana to replace David de Gea, Butland made the decision to restart his career with Rangers. Brown believes that Rangers have gained a lot from Man United, as his former team has the greatest defensive record in the Scottish Premiership.”I was always a fan of Butland,” he declared. It astonished me that he was never able to get more time south. There are many goalkeepers in the English Premier League that, in my opinion, Jack Butland is superior to. Jack Butland would be my choice if I was looking for a reliable goalie because he was at Manchester United and in my opinion, their first choice. Therefore, it is great for the team that Rangers acquired him.”Six years after winning the World Cup, England manager Southgate said last week that Butland was back on his radar.”The other thing is he’s come into a club with 50,000 every home game,” Brown continued. He’s competing in Europe, aiming for prizes, and with the years he’s missed behind him, he should have another ten years at the top.
“There’s no reason why Rangers can’t, hopefully, retain Allen McGregor. He came back at 36 and played until he was 40 and was outstanding.”The final of his nine crowns.Butland has played a major role in a defence that, in 24 league games, has allowed just 12 goals to be scored, and in 16 games under Philippe Clement, that number is down to just seven.
Brown, a participant in”Half the fight is won there. It’s difficult to be a full back or a centre back if your goalie is not on the same level as people I worked with, like Andy Goram, Stefan Klos, or Allan McGregor.
“Butland reassures the backline that they don’t have to be too deep when you see him coming out. We wouldn’t name them, but for certain keepers, we would dive deeper to shield them rather than trusting that they could make the save if there was a shot from 25 yards out. This season, he has likely been among the Rangers’ finest players. The defence has also performed admirably. Having multiple centre backs rotate is challenging. To
