Ex-England and Manchester United keeper Jack Butland has been rushed to hospital with a significant internal bleed - updating fans on social media about his wellbeing
Jack Butland has been rushed to hospital with a significant internal bleed.
Rangers, where Butland is currently on the books, confirmed he would miss Thursday's Old Firm clash with Celtic after the medical incident. In a post on X, they said: "Rangers can confirm goalkeeper Jack Butland will miss tomorrow’s Old Firm match with Celtic.
"The goalkeeper suffered an internal bleed in his leg which required hospital treatment, but he has since been released and is recovering. Everyone at Rangers wishes Jack a speedy recovery."
Butland added on his Instagram story: "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 its come at an awful time and I was fully focussed on helping us as a club. The most important thing now is supporting the lads and focussing on getting fit again as soon as possible.
It's the second game he's missed this Christmas period after pulling out of their clash with Dundee.
Butland had been named in the side, but pulled out in the warm-up when his wife went into labour. The former England and Stoke shot-stopper would then announce the birth of his fourth child on December 21.
The English shot-stopper is in his second season at Ibrox, where he joined as a free agent following the expiry of his Crystal Palace deal in July 2023. Butland had a brief six month stint on loan at Manchester United - but he failed to make a first team appearance.
