Jack Butland

Jack Butland of Rangers was born in Bristol, England on 10 March 1993 (age 33).

Jack Butland, born on 10 March 1993 (age 33), is an English goalkeeper currently with Rangers. At a commanding 6ft 5in (1.96m), he has always looked the part physically, though goalkeeping careers tend to ask sterner questions than that.

His early senior grounding included a useful loan spell at Cheltenham Town in 2011-12, where he made 24 league appearances. That sort of run matters for a young goalkeeper: regular football, mistakes included, is usually more instructive than sitting politely on a bench.

Before joining Rangers, Butland’s career elsewhere also brought him one League Cup win. His move to Ibrox gave him a clearer first-team role again, and by 2025-26 he remained a regular presence in their side.

In 2025-26, he has made 38 league appearances for Rangers, along with one Scottish Cup appearance and eight in the Europa League, taking him to 47 appearances in all competitions for the season. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Butland’s career has moved from early loan development to established senior responsibility, with Rangers now the club giving him his most visible current platform.

Butland's recent career path ran from Stoke City to Crystal Palace, included a loan to Manchester United in early 2023, and then took him to Rangers. The pattern pointed to a goalkeeper who moved from Premier League-level squads into a clear first-choice role at Ibrox.
