Rangers goalkeeper Butland explains rejecting Forest

Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland has no interest in moving back to the Premier League.

The English shot stopper signed for the Ibrox giants in the summer from Crystal Palace.

Butland was asked about a move back to England in the summer, with Nottingham Forest and other teams interested.

He stated, per The Sun: “It was a straight no. My agent said 'This is happening, what do you want to do?'

“I said 'No' and he said 'I agree'. The club had said no anyway so it was just a no on all fronts from the get-go - and that was that.

"We were actually with the team, I think it was deadline day. We were all out altogether at a team event and that was that. There wasn't even a chance.

“I'm enjoying it. There is too much to achieve, there is too much left to do."
