Philippe Clement may need to consider selling some of his Rangers players in order to secure the necessary budget for the required rebuild. There are several players whose contracts will expire in the summer, and there could be a significant number of players in the squad who may leave. However, the manager should also take into account the players who are crucial to Rangers’ success and may attract bids from other clubs. For instance, Jack Butland revealed that he came close to leaving Ibrox in January, with Nottingham Forest having a bid rejected for him. Despite his value to Clement and the club, it would be difficult to turn down a substantial offer for the 30-year-old goalkeeper. However, Butland himself has no immediate plans to demand a move. He remains focused on playing football and showcasing his abilities for Rangers. The sale of Butland exemplifies the typical player trading strategy employed by Rangers. Despite not having consistent playing time in the past few years, Butland only needed a chance to prove himself, which he did by winning both men’s player of the year titles. His performances also put him in contention for a recall to the England national team under Gareth Southgate this summer. This season has highlighted the importance of having a reliable goalkeeper, and Butland’s success comes as no surprise.
