DONE DEAL: Rangers land Crystal Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland

Rangers have signed Crystal Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland.

The 30 year-old has signed a four-year deal with Rangers after being released by Palace.

"He has played for England at every level, including nine caps for the senior team and five for the Great Britain Olympic team," manager Michael Beale told Rangers' website.

"It was clear from our first meeting that we have a strong alignment on football and his development moving forward.

"I feel that we have recruited an excellent goalkeeper and, importantly, a top person."

Butland spent the second-half of last season on-loan with Manchester United.

"The club speaks for itself," he said. "No matter where you are in football, you know about Rangers Football Club.

"I feel great and motivated at the age that I am - and I feel excited at what the future holds. Doing that at a club that is equally as passionate about winning and being at the top was huge for me."
