RANGERS can today announce the signing of goalkeeper Ivor Pandur on a four-year deal from Hull City, subject to international clearance.
Pandur, who is currently with Croatia at the World Cup, played a key role for the Tigers last season as they gained promotion to the English Premier League.
Starting his career in Croatia at his hometown club HNK Rijeka, Pandur made his senior breakthrough in the 2019/20 season keeping 10 clean sheets in 21 appearances.
The following season, he made the switch to Serie A side Hellas Verona in August 2020 where he spent two years before joining Fortuna Sittard in the Dutch top flight.
It was there he really found his feet as a number one, making 31 appearances in his first season.
Pandur joined Hull City in January 2024, and since then has made a big impact in England.
Last season he was crucial in Hull’s promotion to the English Premier League, keeping back-to-back clean sheets against Millwall in the play-off semi-finals, before another clean sheet in a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the final.
On signing for Rangers, Pandur said: “I am honoured and privileged to sign for such a big club with so much history. This club knows how to win and that's exactly why I am joining Rangers.
“I can’t wait to hear the noise of Ibrox for the first time, and I hope we will be successful together.”
Manager Derek McInnes commented: “We are delighted to bring Ivor to Rangers. He is a goalkeeper with excellent presence and a strong character.
“He has shown his quality, he is at a good stage of his career, and we believe he can be a commanding figure for the club.
“I am looking forward to welcoming Ivor into the team when he returns from the World Cup.”
