Ivor Pandur passed amedical in the USA on Sunday ahead of a move to Rangers, sources have told Football Insider.

The Hull City goalkeeper is on the verge of moving to Ibrox as part of a £6million deal, with Jack Butland set to head in the other direction.

The 26-year-old is currently away at the World Cup with Croatia, but has passed the final checks ahead of his move to Rangers.

Sources have now indicated that Butland is travelling to Hull on Monday for the final stages of his talks, and will undergo a medical at the Premier League club.

The veteran Englishman kept 12 clean sheets for the Gers in league action last term, but is now set to head back south of the border.

Pandur has built a growing reputation during his two seasons with Hull, and was one of the Championship's standout goalkeepers last term.

Pandur starred for Hull last term, as he kept 11 clean sheets during the league season, before coming to the fore in their successful play-off campaign.

The former Hellas Verona man didn't concede a single goal in any of his team's three play-off encounters, which culminated in a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough to secure promotion.

However, he is now set to give up the chance to prove himself in the Premier League in order to make the move to Rangers, who are set to make him their new number one.

The Glasgow giants have had to give up Butland in an attempt to sweeten the deal, which is now on the verge of completion.

Pandur conceded just 1.4 goals per game in the Championship last term, a tally which stood him among the league's three strongest shot-stoppers in that department.

His tally of 3.2 saves per 90 also saw him end 2025-26 in the division's top five in that metric.

Sources: Domenico Tedesco key to Rangers completing Lewis Ferguson deal

Domenico Tedesco holds key to Rangers signing Lewis Ferguson

Football Insider revealed last week that Rangers' pursuit of Bologna midfielder Lewis Ferguson will be heavily impacted by their appointment of Domenico Tedesco as manager.

The 26-year-old Scotland international has been heavily linked with an exit from the Serie A side this summer, but that could now be about to change.

Tedesco's arrival is expected to potentially reset Ferguson's standing within the squad, which could make it difficult for Rangers to seal a deal.

The former Aberdeen man also has interest from elsewhere in Italy, where he has built an impressive reputation in recent years.
