Jack Butland, unless an offer comes in that we just can't refuse will be a Rangers Players next year. Considering the circumstances in which he arrived under Beale and the transition to PC and obviously the negative press the team have been getting especially on off days like recently, I feel he will relish being #1 with a fresh start next year and the excitement of playing with new signings of which i feel will be quality . Congrats to our goalie for his awards last night. well deserved.

I hope your right but with his family still down south it seems as though we were a chance to get him back in shop window.

Personally I don't believe that Butland's prime reason for joining us was to get back in the 'shop window'. I believe that he primarily wanted guaranteed first team football and the opportunity to win trophies.
I don't believe that money is a major motivator, he will earn well with us.
I do believe however that he came up too Scotland to win trophies, including the league, and play in Europe, (something that he won't have the opportunity to do in England unless he was to sign for one of the top six sides). This is where the problem lies.
We need to see a substantial upgrade in the quality of players we sign and we need to build a squad that is more than capable of winning the league and progressing in the op European Tournament.
The summer will show how ambitious our current Board is. More of what we have seen since we won 55 and Butland will be off, (probably sold), securing Butland and building from the back with a top quality back four, a solid midfield and showing that we mean business and he will be our keeper next season.
