Butland wishes his teammate would turn it down off the park but on, he can noise up PSV all he wants.
But the Ibrox keeper reckons the reborn Rangers ace might just be the man to create the Champions League cacophony that drowns out next week’s Dutch din. You’d hardly call the Welsh winger the quiet man of Ibrox, with his bubbly personality constantly chirping away in new team-mate Butland’s ear. Matondo, though, has had to endure a muted start to life in Glasgow, with injury and a crisis of confidence silencing his bid to make himself a Rangers regular.
But Butland is backing gabby Rabbi to make himself heard in Holland. He said: “Tuesday will give Abs and Rabbi huge confidence, massive amounts. Rabbi, especially. He’s had a difficult first part of last season when he was here. “He’s a really nice, humble guy and he works his nuts off. The whole squad does. So to see those goals go in is pretty special. You do feel Rabbi can do something when he comes on.
Tuesday was a night to remember for Matondo as he at last gave a glimpse of the player Gio van Bronckhorst felt was worth £3million when he signed him last summer. And it was an evening to savour for the new Ibrox No.1 too. “For me, it was one of the best atmospheres I have ever played in. I maybe expected it to a point having experienced a European night but that was special. I really enjoyed it.
Beale may have constructed a Rangers line-up in his own image but the manager’s new look team still contains the odd memory of last year’s stunning Eindhoven evening locked away in their collective hard drive. Skipper James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Borna Barisic, John Lundstram and Tom Lawrence all started that night as Antonio Colak’s goal put PSV down.“We’ve got to go there and do the right job. We’ve put ourselves in a good position to do so.
