The Portuguese powerhouses will be hosted by the Glasgow Giants in advance of the much awaited European League Round of 16 championship match at the storied Ibrox Stadium.
With the score tied at 2-2, the game is definitely in the balance, and by 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, everyone will be watching Govan.
However, rumours have it that Jack Butland might only be keeping an eye on his phone in the hours before the game in case he gets called up to the England team.
Jack Butland to find out England fate
Gareth Southgate is scheduled to announce his England team for the forthcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium on Thursday, March 14, at 2:00 p.m., according to the Metro.
This gives Jack Butland’s preparations for the Europa League match against Benfica, which is less than four hours away, a whole new dimension.
Any call-up would be a huge bonus, but we’re sure the Rangers custodian will be completely focused on giving Benfica another outstanding performance.
Regarding the England conversation, Jack Butland is correct when he says that a call-up is probably imminent. Gareth Southgate has also commended the keeper’s comeback at Rangers.
