Rangers sign goalkeeper Jack Butland from Crystal Palace

Rangers have confirmed goalkeeper Jack Butland has agreed a four-year deal to join the club from Crystal Palace.

Butland, who was recently loaned out to Manchester United, will officially move to Ibrox on July 1, subject to international clearance.

The 30-year-old signed after first-choice goalkeeper Allan McGregor retired at the end of the season. Jon McLaughlin and Robby McCrorie remain under contract.

"I'm thrilled," Butland told the official Rangers website. “The club speaks for itself. No matter where you are in football, you know Rangers Football Club. This is a huge opportunity for me, and I'm thrilled to be here.

“I feel good and motivated at my age, and I feel excited about what the future holds. To do this at a club that is just as passionate about winning as it is about being at the top has been huge for me.

"It's an important summer for the club and we need to get off to a good start. It's extremely important to get the job done early, so that we're settled in and looking forward to going again when we return."

Butland joins Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling as new signings for Rangers and manager Michael Beale is happy to bring in a player with goalkeeping experience.

Beale: "I am delighted that we have signed Jack. It was clear from our first meeting that we have a strong alignment on football and its development moving forward.

"At 30, he is entering the early years of his career having amassed a wealth of experience with 300 senior football appearances, including almost 90 in the Premier League.

"In addition, he has played for England at all levels, including nine caps for the senior team and five for the Great Britain Olympic team.

"I think we have signed a great goalkeeper and, above all, a top person. We are delighted to have Jack and his young family arrive in Glasgow and we look forward to watching him excel during his time at Rangers . »
