Bruno Fernandes in Jack Butland four word Rangers verdict as big names send well wishes

Bruno Fernandes has sent Jack Butland a four word message following his move to Rangers.

The England cap has joined the Light Blues on a four-year deal after penning a pre-contract as Michael Beale lands his top goalkeeping target. Allan McGregor has left the club with Jon McLaughlin expected to follow leaving Robby McCrorie and Kieran Wright to battle it out with the former Crystal Palace and Manchester United goalie.

The 30-year-old becomes Rangers' third summer recruit after both Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling also put pen to paper on pre-contracts from Norwich City and Chelsea. The three new players will hook up with the squad in pre-season with many more expected to follow as part of an Ibrox rebuild in attempts to end Celtic's dominance. Vital Champions League qualifiers also come early in the summer with two rounds to negotiate to make the group stage.

Butland paid tribute online to both Palace and Manchester United following his exit from both clubs as he got set to sign for Rangers.

A host of big names sent well wishes including Old Trafford superstar Fernandes as he commented on Butland' s Instagram post. The new Rangers No1 wrote: "Delighted and honoured to have joined such a special and successful club.

"Already counting down the days to pull on the shirt in-front of a packed Ibrox. Exciting times ahead."

Replying to his post, Fernandes wrote: "You deserve the best."

He wasn't the only one to comment with Jermain Defoe writing: "You are going to love it mate. Special club."

Phil Bardsley added: "Congrats boss. Great move."

Benni McCarthy posted: "Congratulations Jack all the best mate. It's been a pleasure working with you mate.

Peter Lovenkrands went with a simple: "Yes mate."

Harry McGuire shared a picture of Butland posing with his new Rangers shirt on his own profile writing: "Good luck mate."
