Rangers ‘worry’ emerges after Jack Butland announces his departure from club to dream club

Rangers provided their supporters with yet another rollercoaster in the Scottish Premiership as they recovered to beat Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday.

The 4-3 win for Rangers after a two-goal deficit was a complete soap opera for Barry Ferguson’s side, and not for the first time, after Cyriel Dessers eventually hit the winner on his 100th Gers appearance.

Jack Butland has been the hero at times for the Light Blues this term, but did not cover himself in glory with one moment in the first half.

Butland makes mess of ‘simple’ task as Rangers bail him out

Rangers earned their three points the hard way yet again this season after recovering from 2-0 and 3-1 scorelines to take the 4-3 victory back to Govan.

Alongside goals from Dessers, Tom Lawrence and James Tavernier to complete the comeback in the second half, Joe Shaughnessy’s own goal gave Gers hope before the interval.

Before that, though, Shaughnessy fired in at the right end for Dundee after Butland had dropped a seemingly routine catch.

James McFadden, co-commentating live on Sky Sports (29 March, 17:49), told Ian Crocker that the Englishman should have done far better for a goal from which his attacking teammates eventually bailed him and his defence out.

It’s a tame header. It should’ve been a comfortable take for Jack Butland,” the ex-Scotland forward said.

It skips up, and he doesn’t deal with it. It’s a simple one. The worry for Rangers is there are two players unmarked in the box.”

Ferguson inspires another breathless win

Ferguson will need some time to calm down from what was a complete helter-skelter of a Saturday, and the second time in his short managerial reign, his team have had to come back from two goals down to win.
