      by

      Palace already have two top keepers in Sam Johnstone and Vicente Guaita, making that department well covered and also expensive to run.
      Rangers have been keen on Butland, 30, for a year but only pressed on with a deal in recent weeks.
      Their initial interest faded when Allan McGregor returned to their plans.
      But his belated exit left them in need of an experienced replacement.

      The former Stoke shot-stopper failed to make any appearances at Palace or United this season.
      Butland made nine league appearances for Palace in the league last season.
      He reportedly held talks over a move to Scotland on Tuesday night – the same day Gers confirmed the capture of Dujon Sterling.
      Last month we revealed how Man Utd were prepared to DOUBLE the wages offered by the Ibrox side in order to keep him at Old Trafford.

      Asim, 33, was using the radio to follow Everton v Bournemouth — crucial to whether his team stayed in the Premier League.
      He was seen on Sky Sports and Match of the Day reacting with horror at Everton’s goal, which meant Leicester would be going down, despite their 2-1 home victory over West Ham.
      Dad Paul, 70, a retired GP, had written his mobile number prominently on the digital radio in case he misplaced it.
      Asim had borrowed it and said: “When Everton scored, you can imagine my reaction, a bit four-lettered. I’d no idea the cameras had caught it until after.

      “My dad called and said he was being bombarded with calls from fans of other clubs.
      “They had seen his number on the radio. One was asking for help to repair his because it was going down, down, down.”
      Asim, also a GP, added: “Ironically, Dad isn’t even a Leicester fan — he supports Chelsea.” More

      Reading Crown Court heard his co-defendant had been convicted over the racially-aggravated assault soon after the attack.
      Although the race-hate assault case was abandoned, he has now been given 21 days behind bars for failing to surrender.
      Passing sentence at Reading crown court, Judge Sarah Campbell said: “You are now a grown man and have had nearly 20 years in effect to resolve the situation but you have chosen not to do so.

      In the new sequel, Steve, now 42, plays the dad of a girl who vows to go one better than her father by getting a selfie with the former England and Newcastle ace.

      Viewers also hear Shearer’s daughter Chloe, who is now in her 30s but was just five in the original ad, reprise her role of begging her dad to get a McDonald’s.
