Although Jack Butland acknowledges that performance improvement must happen quickly, he still thinks Rangers have a chance to win the William Hill Premiership title.
Earlier in the day, the Light Blues rallied to draw 1-1 with Dundee United at Ibrox, but ended the day 11 points behind champions Celtic.
On the trip to Ibrox, Jim Goodwin’s team encountered traffic issues that delayed kickoff for fifty-five minutes before the visitors seized the lead through Sam Dalby, a striker.
Frustrated Gers fans booed their side off at the interval but they levelled in the 66th minute through a well-worked goal from winger Vaclav Cerny.
After the Dons’ 2-1 loss at St. Mirren, Rangers did cut the deficit to eight points behind second-place Aberdeen, but Celtic’s crushing 4-1 victory over Hearts at Tyneca put them three points clear at the top.
Butland was asked if he still believed Rangers were in a title race and the 31-year-old goalkeeper replied: “People might not think that.
You won’t catch us not thinking that. “The reality, we know what it looks like. We know we need to perform better if we want to be in a title race.
