Billy Dodds wowed by what Rangers star did vs Kilmarnock, it wasn’t Bojan Miovski
Billy Dodds was quick to praise Jack Butland for his fantastic save against Kilmarnock during Rangers’ 3-0 victory.
Bojan Miovski will rightly get the plaudits at Ibrox for his two goals against Killie, which helped return the Gers to winning ways.
However, while many of Rangers’ attacking force were fantastic, one player who perhaps went under the radar was Butland.
Butland has made multiple fantastic saves for Rangers already this season, and this form continued against Kilmarnock.

With Rangers cruising at 2-0, many of the Danny Rohl’s players let their foot off the gas.
This was a dangerous game, with Killie doing everything in their power to try and get back into the match, and near the 60-minute mark, they almost did.
A corner from the hosts caused chaos inside Rangers’ box with Robbie Deas rising highest to head the ball goal-bound.

- Miovski netted a brace while Mikey Moore also scored off the bench
- However, it could have been a different outcome if not for the brilliance of Butland
However, Butland was quick to get down to block the shot and ensure Rangers maintained their two-goal lead.
Speaking on BBC Sportsound on 6 December, Dodds was quick to praise the goalkeeper.
He said: “What a save.
“Butland has just kept his team ahead, what a save that was.”
