      England boss Gareth Southgate branded an ā€˜idiotā€™ by WWE superstar over controversial squad selection

      by

      RANGERS fans were stunned when Jack Butland missed Gareth Southgate’s squad for friendlies with Brazil and Belgium.Then they were up in arms when he was over-looked for a second call-up in favour of James Trafford last week.Rangers-daft Drew McIntyre has lashed out at Gareth SouthgateWhen Sam Johnstone was injured Southgate snubbed Butland twiceCredit: AlamyThe Gers keeper has admitted he craves adding to his nine capsCredit: Kenny RamsayAnd that anger spread around the WORLD.WWE superstar Drew McIntyre is warming up for Wrestlemania next week and the Gers-daft muscle man says even HE can’t believe the shocking snub.Butland has become a fan favourite at Ibrox since his summer move from Crystal Palace earning a ‘Super Jack’ nickname and terrace song within months after a string of strong performances.Those displays have re-shaped Rangers’ season under Philippe Clement – and thrust him into the international spotlight.But although he HAD met up with the squad earlier in the campaign and there was a clamour for his inclusion, the Gers No1 was on the outside looking in once again.And the snub left Drew McIntyre RAGING.He told Gareth Southgate: “You’re just an IDIOT”. McIntyre is a well-known Rangers fan and has previously clashed with Chris Sutton over the Old Firm rivalry with Celtic.Most read in FootballHis support has even seen heavyweights like Triple H weigh in on the Scottish Premiership action in the past – and the Butland row hasn’t gone unnoticed either.ā€˜I donā€™t understandā€™ says Man Utd icon Rio Ferdinand as he slams Gareth Southgateā€™s use of ā€˜heartbeatā€™ of England teamAsked on That’s Football social media channel, McIntyre vented his frustrations.He said: “They’re idiots for leaving him out the squad.”Along with the captain Tav, heā€™s our best player. “Weā€™ve been searching for such a long time to replace Allan McGregor in goal. We tried multiple keepers, then had to bring Allan McGregor back, but finally with Butland – he is the man.Butland has been Rangers hero as Philippe Clement’s team challenge for the SPFL titleCredit: Willie VassHe’s been out of the international picture for eight yearsCredit: GettyJordan Pickford was Three Lions keeper for both friendlies with Brazil and Belgium (above)Credit: Getty”Heā€™s absolutely on fire. He is as I say probably our bestplayer along with Tav.”To leave him out the squad, youā€™re just an idiot. Simple asthat.ā€œYouā€™re a bloody idiot ā€“ from Drew McIntyre.”Southgate may have overlooked the 30-year-old – but his form hasn’t gone unnoticed – even across the Atlantic.McIntyre added: “Heā€™s amazing. Iā€™m blown away by how amazing he has been for us. “The whole team right now has so much momentum not unfortunately in the Europa ā€“ in the first game that wasnā€™t a bloody penalty – nonetheless with the league weā€™v e got a game in hand to get it done and Butlandā€™s a big reason weā€™ve got all this momentum.”England lost to Brazil and drew 2-2 with Belgium.But now the international window has passed it’s back to league business.Rangers face Hibs in a fiery re-run of their powderkeg Scottish Cup quarter final earlier this month and then meet arch-rivals Celtic next Sunday in a top of the table clash – the same day as McIntyre competes at Wrestlemania 40.READ MORE SUN STORIESKeep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page More

      And he made up for lost time by firing a free-kick into the bottom corner to give Brentford the lead in the 19th minute.
      Although it landed him in a cheat storm after fans spotted he moved the mall AND the referee’s foam spray to create a better shooting angle.
      They went on to clinch a 3-2 win – their first victory in eight games in all competitions.
      But it was Brentford’s pre-match build-up that left many social media users in hysterics.

      As the players prepared to make their way out of the tunnel, WWE icon The Undertaker’s ringwalk music began playing as the lights went down inside the Gtech Community Stadium.
