Rangers: Hull City have sold goalkeeper Ivor Pandur to the Ibrox club

Pandur made his early professional debut for top-flight outfit Rijeka aged just 19 and had a youth cap for his country.

This earned him a move to Serie A the following year with Verona, saving two penalties on his debut against Venezia in the Coppa Italia.

However, he made just 11 appearances there before joining Fortuna on loan and quickly establishing himself as first choice as well as a permanent move to the Dutch top flight.

Just six months into a four-year contract, Pandur was sold to Hull and although it took eight months for him to make his debut, he established himself as first choice.

His form dipped amid transfer speculation in his second season at Humberside, but he played in all but one of Hull’s 46 Championship matches last term and became only the fourth goalkeeper in history to keep a clean sheet in both the play-off semi-final and final.

With a reputation as an excellent shot-stopper but less adept with the ball at his feet, Pandur kept 14 clean sheets in his 48 appearances last season, with a save percentage of 69.8% and 150 saves per 66 minutes.

In comparison, Butland has managed just two fewer clean sheets in 38 games, making 104 saves at a higher save percentage of 70.7% and 79 minutes per goal.

The Englishman also had four penalty saves, two more than Pandur.
