Rangers fans’ cup celebrations were SCARY and I can’t imagine what they’ll be like if we win title says Jack Butland

Jack Butland grinned as he looked back on the “scary” scale of Rangers’ Viaplay Cup celebrations.A more frightening notion for the Ibrox support might be the thought of just what state they’d be in right now had they not had the England hopeful there to bail them out at a various points this season.

From the catalogue of vital stops early on which ensured a nightmare start under Michael Beale didn’t become an outright disaster to his reflex wonder save in Paisley on Sunday, the Ibrox No1 has been key to ensuring Rangers head into the final month of the campaign with at least an outside chance of a Treble.Even if worst comes to worst and Philippe Clement’s side fall at the final Premiership and Scottish Cup hurdles, Butland can still look back on a maiden campaign in Glasgow and cherish a special moment at Hampden.December’s League Cup win over Aberdeen was exactly the kind of occasion which convinced the the former Stoke, Crystal Palace and Man United stopper to join Gers last summer.But for all that the club’s first triumph in that competition after 12 long years meant to him, his team-mates and their supporters, there’s no doubt the scenes of joy will be multiplied tenfold if they can someone find a way to sneak past Celtic to snatch this year’s league crown.

And it’s that tantalising prospect which seems to be behind Butland’s insistence that he won’t be tempted back south this summer.“It is sort of scary in a way,” he said as he looked back on his first trophy triumph at Ibrox. “That was some good fun that we had.

It was an incredible day, an incredible few days after. We didn’t get long to enjoy it, such is the nature of this league and the demands on you.
