Both the visitors' strikes came in the first half at Anfield with Rankin-Costello's header breaking the deadlock on 24 minutes.
Butterworth doubled the advantage with a fine solo run and finish five minutes before half-time.
Though Liverpool responded through George Johnston six minutes from time Rovers held on for their 13th win from their last 17 matches.
The Lancashire club finish their campaign in fifth, a place and three points behind Liverpool, but can be overtaken by Derby County and Chelsea who each have one match left to play.
