According to Fabrizio Romano deal agreed and completed today for Butland. Hopefully that's our goalie problems sorted.

That’s the only problem he is a upgrade on the current situation but a downgrade from 2 years ago let’s face it if he came in 2 years ago he would be no 2.

2 years ago he would still instantly be number one.

Not a chance he would of took the gloves of allan mcgregor 2 years ago behave.

I think we need to be careful when it comes to being too critical of our new goalkeeper. Greegsy was really absolutely exceptional and one of if not the best keeper rangers have ever had so itll be almost impossible for Jack Butland to reach prime Mcgregor levels. That said i think he brings different skill set in terms of coming for cross balls and being quick off his line which was never a strength of McGregor throughout his career. Welcome to rangers Jack!

Lot say he jot same as McGregor, but was as good as Klos, goram, they are all different and if they give their all then there should be no complaints, all excellent keepers in their own way.

allan began denigrating long before 2 years ago, one of the very best, but been on a downward spiral for around 4 yrs,

Stoozie I agree but same goes for mccrorie.

Butland is a great keeper no doubt but it’s hardly critical saying he’s a downgrade on one of the greatest keepers rangers have ever had will be a long time till we get a keeper as good as Allan again.

He’ll fill his own gloves just fine.

I’d imagine we have a good few years of him being a class goalie for us. Well happy with this signing.

Do we actually know how good Butland is now? Apparently that ankle break took a lot out of him, and he hasn’t played in a while.

Tom, I still can't believe we gave McGregor a contract last summer, madness, complete madness.

rfc, you seem to be holding a grudge on an earlier disagreement

allan mcgregor has been suffering with sever arthritic condition for way over 5 years now, butland would easily have been no1 2 years ago, allan been getting slower and in more pain way longer than 2 years, if you don't know that then no point in getting back.

Tom you’re wrong McGregor had a great season 2 years ago. Yes he has suffered for years with his knee but the fact remains Alan had a tremendous season.

Don't understand why it's a problem, peak McGregor was class, but that's the past, butland is a very well respected keeper and already folk are finding negatives. Mental.

Also on McGregor not coming off his line

As a keeper you really got to know your limitations he was never the tallest of keepers so coming off his line to early would have been stupid stick to his strengths of being a shot stopper with great reflex's and willingness to use any part of body to save a shot.

I see the same in mccrorie but I doubt he will get the chance to show what he can do we are so short sited when it comes to our own player development.

Every one knows about his condition does not change the fact that 2 years ago butland would play 2nd fiddle to Allan prob had one of his best seasons and if not agree with you is a grudge I have a few ?.

Greegs was a fantastic keeper for us but imho goram better than him simple as that?In british and european football at the time goram was playing for us, only man utd legendary goalkeeper peter schmeichel was better for me and only just at that?The 'goalie' was even brilliant with the ball at his feet and would come off his line when needed, to fist a ball clear?He was an exceptional, world class goalie and no other keeper for me that played for rangers, gets close to goram for me ??? God rest his soul ?.

Think some putting shagger on pedestal here. Arthritis, age and speed in getting down not to mention cross balls has had him struggling for five years. Butland is an experienced improvement. Some shagger lovers on here already denegrating butland before he's kept goal despite EPL and international credentials. I say wait, give him chance and gers welcome.
