Philippe Clement provides Jack Butland Rangers injury update

Philippe Clement says Jack Butland hopes he can return to the Rangers squad this weekend.

The goalkeeper has been out injured since the start of the year after suffering internal bleeding in his leg.

Butland hasn't played in 2025, although there are hopes he can return to be in contention for this weekend's Scottish Cup tie against Fraserburgh.

Clement said: "Jack Butland is still a question mark, but he's also close to coming back into training with the squad.

"We will see tomorrow if he can play with the squad and what conclusions to make about that."

Liam Kelly has deputized in the Englishman's absence, starting his side's last five matches, including against Celtic, in which he picked up a clean sheet.

His fellow stopper, though, could return to the squad this weekend as the Highland League outfit are welcomed to Ibrox.

Kick-off on Sunday is at 2.15pm as Clement's side looks to book their place in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

After that, a trip to Old Trafford awaits as Rangers go up against Butland's former club, Manchester United, next Thursday.
