Rangers would only entertain selling Jack Butland on Deadline Day for a “crazy figure” of £20million, according to Derek Ferguson.

The former Rangers player said it would be a “scary thought” to lose the “absolutely phenomenal” England goalkeeper, who he rates as

better than Three Lions number one Jordan Pickford.

On Wednesday, January 31, STV announced that Nottingham Forest had made an inquiry regarding Butland, while the Daily Record

stated that an other Premier League team that remained nameless was also considering the 30-year-old.

Ferguson considers Butland to be one of the best goalkeepers to have ever played for the team, and he only moved to Ibrox on a free

transfer in the summer. He believes that only an enormous offer would be considered for a deadline-busting sell.

“Butland was available for free. Now that I’m talking, this is merely based on his outstanding performances this season. But it goes

beyond just his work; it also involves the way he conducts himself.

“He has a certain grandeur and presence as a goalkeeper, and the supporters adore him. I’m not even kidding when I say that he’s

good—I’m talking about almost £20 million before you would ever entertain the idea.

You know what, he outperforms Pickford. I mean business when I say that we have had the good fortune to have goalkeepers like Andy Goram, Allan McGregor, and Butland in recent years.

“He is a product of Manchester United, and we will have the finest years with him.” Keepers only become better with age, and he’s at a

wonderful age.

I’ve seen the highlights of English games, and he’s been incredible. It scares me to think that we might lose him, but I know that

money talks, so that’s why I may have come up with the outrageous figure of £20 million. If someone were to come in with £10 million

or more, I believe they would have to look it over because it would be extremely profitable.

However, how can you bridge that gap? Although McCrorie is frequently included in the Scotland team, I believe he is a cut above the

rest of the players in this division.

“He ought to be on that England team for the Euros, in my opinion. Because of everything that makes him unique—not just what he

accomplishes in the game, but the entire package—the fans adore him and follow him.

“He gets the club; many players who have joined Rangers from England have had this happen to them. Something happens when you

visit the Rangers football club—the Butchers, Chris Woods, Ray Wilkins, Trevor Francis—for whatever reason, they are passionate

about it.Long may it last, Jack Butland enjoys playing for the Rangers, and the supporters love him too.
