Craig Moore Wants Rangers To Move On From This 33-Year-Old: Do They Need Him? Former Rangers captain Craig Moore hasn’t held back on Jack Butland. Speaking to the Daily Record , the ex-defender admitted Butland has the talent to pull off massive saves, but he’s increasingly worried about a fundamental flaw.

The recent clanger against Hearts, where Butland let a Lawrence Shankland shot slip in at the near post from a tight angle, perfectly illustrated Moore’s point. What did Craig Moore say about Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland? The former skipper admitted he always has a nagging fear that Butland has a big mistake in him.

In a tight title race with Celtic and Hearts, these individual errors turn a keeper into a liability. Moore argued that winning titles requires a keeper who earns you points, rather than someone who drops them through lapses in concentration. His view isn’t just punditry; it’s the perspective of a man who knows the pressure of winning at Ibrox.

“We talk about you’ve got to be mad to be a goalkeeper and all sort of stuff – Jack doesn’t strike me as that. “But it’s a position where, unfortunately, you make a mistake, and you’re picking it out at the back of your net. “I feel, unfortunately, that as good a goalkeeper as he is and the saves that he’s made and what have you, I always have the feeling there’s a big mistake in him and that’s a big concern for me.
