Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland has taken to social media to share an update on his fitness after being rushed to hospital with “internal bleeding.”

According to Rangers Review, the 31-year-old received medical attention on Tuesday evening following concerns over a “significant” internal bleed.

Butland remained under supervision throughout the night before being discharged from the hospital on Wednesday morning.

It remains unclear how long the goalkeeper is set to be out but he will miss the Old Firm derby against Celtic on Thursday (January 2) and could also be out for the pivotal Europa League clash against former club Man United.

Philippe Clement looks set to call upon either Liam Kelly or youngster Mason Munn as he seeks to fill the void left by Butland.

Rangers dealt significant blow with Jack Butland set for a spell on the sidelines

The English goalkeeper has been key for Rangers so far this season, starting all 29 of his games across all competitions, conceding 27 goals, and keeping 13 clean sheets in his 2640 minutes of action.

Butland took to Instagram to address the rumours regarding his fitness, saying: "I really appreciate the messages, but it's important the information is correct.

"I've suffered a significant bleed to my leg that needed hospital attention. Thankfully that's now under control and will lead to a full recovery, hopefully sooner rather than later.

"Needless to say, it's come at an awful time and I was fully focused on helping us as a club. The most important thing now is supporting the lads and focusing on getting fit again as soon as possible."

Rangers are already 14 points behind arch-rivals Celtic going into their game at Ibrox on Thursday, sitting in second with 36 from their 18 games.

Clement’s side will then travel to Edinburgh to face Hibernian in their second game of 2025 as they seek to salvage a stuttering season.
