Jack Butland has been linked with an exit this summer despite being the first-choice goalkeeper for Rangers in recent years.
Since his move from Crystal Palace in 2023, the Englishman has gone on to make over 100 appearances for the Ibrox outfit.
In that time, Butland has managed to win the Scottish League Cup in the 2023/24 season.

Jack Butland not expected to receive contract extension he expected at Rangers
According to the Rangers Review’s Chris Jack, Butland is not likely to receive the contract extension which he spoke about at the start of the year.
At the time, the keeper had around 18 months left on his contract at Ibrox, and he openly expressed the desire to stay at the club.
He also hinted at expecting a new contract to be put on the table for the Light Blues, as he does not seem to be keen on leaving.
However, now in the final 12 months, a new deal does not seem to be on the cards for the 33-year-old.
While no significant developments have taken place surrounding his exit, the club do seem open to cashing in on him.
Rangers like Pierce Charles, who is the Sheffield Wednesday keeper, and could look to bring him in to replace Butland.

What does this mean for Jack Butland? 🤔
Should Rangers move on from Butland?
While Butland has had a number of standout moments across his Rangers career, he does not represent what Danny Rohl is trying to achieve at Ibrox.
The German wants his team to be exceptional at playing out from the back and keeping a high line with a sweeper keeper.
For all of Butland’s strengths, he’s not the best at sweeping or even playing out from the back.
He is an orthodox shot stopper, and that is not something Rohl wants from his number one.
Charles represents the future and will also give the Gers the option of making a significant profit from his sale in the future.
The Northern Ireland international’s stock is expected to rise meteorically in the coming years, and he is not expected to ever be as cheap as he will be in this summer transfer window.
