Butland urged to win back Ibrox gloves under Martin

- By Andy Newport

CAMMY BELL has no trouble pinpointing the exact moment his Rangers career suffered its fatal blow.

It came the fateful second he allowed a horrid Fir Park fumble to squirm over the line, killing off the Light Blues’ Premiership promotion bid in the process.

Try as he might, it’s a howler he has not been allowed to wipe from the memory banks even a decade on.

But the former Gers No.1 reckons the Ibrox faithful could be convinced to forgive and forget the many mistakes that blighted Jack Butland’s most recent campaign.

There may have been no way back for Bell after punching Motherwell winger Marvin Johnson's speculative play-off final strike into his own net in 2015, but he believes Butland can be reborn under new manager Russell Martin.

He said: “As goalkeeper, it can be massively difficult to regain that trust after a big mistake. You're always reminded of those moments and Jack will have that too.

“He needs to get over it and I’m pretty sure he has. He recognises he’s had a difficult season but that’s probably the most important thing, he acknowledges it’s happened.

“It’s about how he rectifies that, how he gets back to the training ground and how hard he works. The only way he can turn it around is by getting back in the team and playing consistently because that’s how you restore faith in yourself.
