Croatian goalkeeper Ivor Pandur signs with Rangers from Hull City
Ivor Pandur, the 26‑year‑old Croatian international goalkeeper, completed a transfer to Scottish Premiership club Rangers while the national team was at the World Cup in North America. He signed a four‑year contract, with the fee reported at around £6 million (≈ €7 million), making him the most expensive Croatian goalkeeper in history, surpassing Dominik Livaković.
Pandur joins Rangers from Hull City, where he played 48 matches last season and helped the club win promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs. Hull, facing a financial‑fair‑play deficit, needed to sell players and will receive Jack Butland from Rangers as part of a related deal. Rangers manager Derek McInnes welcomed the signing, stating, "We are delighted to bring Ivor to Rangers. He is a goalkeeper of great character and quality." Pandur added, "It is an honour and privilege to sign for such a great club with so much history."
The move follows Pandur’s career path from Rijeka, Hellas Verona, Fortuna Sittard, and Hull City, and it occurs as he serves as the third‑choice goalkeeper for Croatia at the World Cup.
