Simply the Best was a staple in the Butland household long before the goalkeeper was walking out to it every other weekend.

So when he realised it was a Rangers anthem and watched them come out to it on the day legendary singer Tina Turner passed away, he knew it was a sign he should sign on at Ibrox. The goalkeeper has been the pick of Michael Beale 's summer additions, and arguably the only one that didn't result in heavy criticism of the previous boss.

"Simply the Best probably means more to me than some others," he told Rangers TV. "The fact that my grandad used to sing it to me when I was young and that point, there's connection for me personally with Rangers. To now be here, to hear that song being played and song at Ibrox every week is pretty, pretty special.
