Rangers HubRangers are likely to complete the signing of Ivor Pandur as Jack Butland departs the club. The 33-year-old goalkeeper has been given permission to explore a move away from Ibrox.
What happened to Jack Butland?
Butland has been a mainstay in the starting XI since his move to Rangers in 2023. However, he was left out of the team in spells this season due to concerns over his displays.
Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Rangers have been frustrated by Butland's displays. Brown said: "It's an interesting one with Jack Butland. Throughout his career, I know people who have rated him very highly and tipped him for big things, but he was always prone to errors which put doubts in people's minds."
Who are Rangers signing to replace Butland?
Rangers are closing in on a deal to sign Hull City goalkeeper Ivor Pandur. The 26-year-old has passed a medical at Rangers after terms were agreed between the two clubs.
