Rangers have completed the signing of goalkeeper Ivor Pandur from Hull City in a £6 million deal, with the move appearing to be part of a broader goalkeeping reshuffle between the two clubs.
The transfer brings the Croatian shot-stopper to Ibrox as Rangers look to strengthen between the posts, while reports suggest that Rangers’ current goalkeeper Jack Butland is closing in on a move in the opposite direction to Hull City.
Pandur made his mark in the Championship with Hull, establishing himself as a reliable presence in goal for the Tigers. His arrival at Rangers signals the Scottish Premiership club’s intent to invest in the position ahead of the new season.
Meanwhile, Butland’s anticipated departure to Hull would complete what looks to be a straight swap arrangement between the clubs, with both goalkeepers set to switch their respective leagues — Butland heading to the English Championship and Pandur stepping up to compete in Scottish football and potentially European competition with Rangers.
Further details regarding the Butland deal are expected to be confirmed in the coming days.
