Rangers star Tam McManus claims that Jack Butland will be disappointed that he was left out of Gareth Southgate’s England team.
For the forthcoming games against Brazil and Belgium, the Three Lions manager has decided not to start the Ibrox number one.
Southgate has selected Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), Jordan Pickford (Everton), and Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace).
On The Football Show on March 15, McManus stated, “I think he’ll be disappointed.” “He’s been fantastic for the Rangers this season, but as we all know, there is snobbery down south. People up here wonder, ‘Who is he playing against every week?’
Sadly, that has happened in the past with players—your Chris Suttons and Alan Thompsons, for example—and Englishmen who were succeeding up here but never really got a sniff. Therefore, even though I’m a little surprised, it’s not because they’ll just pick Premier League players.
Is England manager Gareth Southgate mistaken to ignore Jack Butland of Rangers?
This season, Butland has put up a number of outstanding performances in goal, not only in the Scottish Premiership but also in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, and Europa League.
This season, the goalie has been crucial to Philippe Clement’s success, frequently saving the day for the Gers.
An England call-up was seemingly on the cards due to his impressive displays in Scotland, but Three Lions manager Southgate has opted not to call up the Rangers number one for the nation’s upcoming friendly clashes.

Pickford has been England’s best goalkeeper for a while, but considering their difficulties this year, many Gers supporters could be wondering why Southgate decided to add Palace’s Johnstone.
And with Ramsdale playing second fiddle to David Raya at Arsenal this season, Ramsdale’s position is undoubtedly under scrutiny if Johnstone’s is.
It’s possible that Butland was hoping for a return to the Three Lions formation this month, but it wasn’t meant to be.
