The Daily Record is refusing to give up on their campaign to get Jack Butland into the England squad.
For weeks on end the floundering Glasgow based publisher were taking it for granted that the Ibrox ‘keeper would be on duty against Brazil and Belgium as he forced his way into Gareth Southgate’s Starting XI.
A special edition had been prepared to celebrate the England squad announcement but in line with almost all of the Scottish media they were left with egg on their face when the 26 man squad was announced with the 31-year-old as close to a recall as Joe Hart.
Barry Ferguson took the news from Southgate especially badly claiming that he squad announcement was a slap in the face for Scottish football.

Undeterred by reality the Record has relaunched their bandwagon, turning to former Manchester United defender Wes Brown for his thoughts.
Brown was at Murrayfield in midweek to promote a friendly between United and Philippe Clement’s side with adult tickets starting at just £38.
In these situations the former player is going to play ball with the questioning, whether it was Butland, James Tavernier or John Lundstram they were going to be talked up.
Mission was accomplished, the Record can now reference the backing of former Manchester United and England legend Brown when they reheat their Butland cap call yarn.
If sevco re-signed r kent—sure be Goddins he’d be due an england call up as well, along with penny tav & butsy …all of a sudden the english squad would be littered with ‘ the sevco superstars ‘…
What a Klub!!
Aye, that rag is an absolute embarrassing joke of a publication, quicker it goes down the swanny the better.
Their sports writers are shocking ,to even consider themselves as journalists, clueless washed up insignificant hacks.
The daily scumhun record as usual trying to talk up butland this great keeper at cheating liebrox will never get into the england team especially playing in a pubs league so say the tramps from down south eh the last oldco players that played in the england team were all EBT SIDELETTERS PLAYERS and i cant see that newco using ebt sideletters because they have their officials in black to help them if they need help but anyway the so called jounralists in masonic scotland are terrified to say anything about the cheating our LIQUIDATION incase the bully boys go after them dirty lowlife scumbag especially they rats at the masonic daily scumhun record and the sun…but they will suffer one day and i cant wait for that day to come honest…
At least Butland is half decent at his profession…
Which is something that can NEVER be said about The Daily Record…
Piles and Piles of them left untouched in the garage that I was in there to get ma Diet irn bru for ma spicy curry…
Beautiful indeed to see and witness that so it definitely is…
They’re well on the way out thank goodness !!!
It’s a shame Gareth Southgate doesn’t read the Daily Record though! He does in fact think that the SPFL is a Sunday league level competition, and is probably more likely to take Ray Clemence to the Euros as back-up to Pickford than Butland…. and he’s dead.
The Rectum is so far up the sevco and ingerlish butt that it’s no surprise to see them celebrating Buttland.
Arses ralottierum!
