Hull City goalkeeper Ivor Pandur is reportedly of interest to Rangers, who could offer Jack Butland in a swap deal.
What's at Stake for Hull City?
Pandur, currently on duty at the World Cup with Croatia, was a key figure in Hull City's promotion-winning Championship campaign. He made 92 appearances for the Tigers, establishing himself as the first-choice goalkeeper after initially struggling to break into the team.
Why the Swap Deal Makes Sense
Rangers are keen on giving Pandur a fresh start, while Hull City are looking to add Premier League experience to their squad. Butland, who has been at Ibrox since 2023, could provide the Tigers with the necessary expertise to avoid relegation.
Recent Form and League Standing
As of the end of the 2025-2026 season, Hull City are 6th in the Championship with 73 points, having won 21 games, drawn 10, and lost 15. Their recent form has been impressive, with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 games, including a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough on May 23, 2026.

Hull City are 22 points behind leaders Coventry, but their current form suggests they have a good chance of pushing for a higher finish next season.
What Comes Next for Hull City?
The potential swap deal between Hull City and Rangers could have significant implications for both teams. Hull City are also linked with other goalkeepers, including Besiktas' Ersin Destanoğlu and Manchester United's Radek Vitek. As the transfer window opens, the Tigers will be looking to strengthen their squad and build on their successful promotion campaign.
