Jack Butland insists Rangers will be giving every competition their all as attention turns this weekend from Europe to Scottish Gas Scottish Cup action.
The 2-2 draw against Benfica in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 clash in Lisbon on Thursday night sets the tie up nicely for the return game at Ibrox next week.
However, before that fixture, Philippe Clement’s side, who are top of the cinch Premiership with the Viaplay Cup already in the trophy room, have to travel to Easter Road on Sunday for their quarter-final tie against Hibernian.
Butland says Rangers will take belief from the Benfica performance into the next two matches as they continue the quest for more success.
The 30-year-old former Stoke and Crystal Palace keeper said: “For sure, it doesn’t stop, a lot of games, a lot of competitions that we’re still in which is really important and another huge one on Sunday.
“We spoke about enjoying the performance and being proud of what we’ve done on Thursday night.
“But we’ve got another cup that we want to progress in at the weekend and all focus turns to that now.
“It is an important one that we have got on Sunday, so the second leg (against Benfica) will come after that.
“We’ll turn our attentions after Sunday but full focus is on Hibs, they’re a good side. We go to their place and we need to go and get a win and progress to the next round.
“We want to win every game that we’re involved in. We want to win every competition that we’re involved in.
“So Sunday is exactly that. It’s another competition that we want to progress in.
“Hopefully we do that and only then we turn our attentions back on to Benfica.”
Rangers twice held the lead in Lisbon thanks to goals from Tom Lawrence and Dujon Sterling, only to be pegged back both times through Angel Di Maria’s penalty and Connor Goldson’s own goal.
“That was a really good test against a top, top side with some incredible talents and we held our own,” Butland said.
“We could have got a little bit more from the game maybe but it was a really good result.”
While the attention is on Hibs and getting Rangers into the semi-final, Butland admits he is confident of coming through the finely-balanced Europa League tie against the reigning Portuguese champions at Ibrox.
The Gers number one, who will see if he has earned an England recall for the March friendlies against Brazil and Belgium when Gareth Southgate names his squad next Thursday, said: “Always. It’s home for us. And there’s not a team that we can face that we won’t be confident of beating at Ibrox.
“But then that comes after this Sunday, but we’ll be looking forward to that as well.”
