Former Motherwell star Don Goodman believes Rangers should sign England and Wolverhampton goalkeeper Sam Johnstone to replace the injured Jack Butland whose spell in hospital recently could have him unavailable for a considerable period.

Speaking to Ibrox Noise and Plejmo.com, the pundit said:

“Sam Johnstone moving to Rangers could be a move that suits all parties. I was baffled when Wolves paid £10 million for him from Crystal Palace as I didn’t really see him as an upgrade on Jose Sa and he wasn’t performing well enough to be Palace’s first-choice. I found it strange when you look at how careful Wolves have had to be with spending and FFP in recent times.

“Rangers have to consider their options in the transfer window after Jack Butland’s injury. A permanent move could be dependent on the price tag but a loan is likely to come down to whether Sam Johnstone would be interested in a move to Scotland.”

Johnstone was being picked ahead of Butland by former England manager Gareth Southgate, and it would be ironic if Philippe Clement now replaced the former Crystal Palace stopper with the former… Crystal Palace stopper.

Will it happen?

Stay tuned, because Rangers do need another goalie.
