Ivor Pandur: How new Rangers signing once got Liam Rosenior sacked

Ivor Pandur has been unveiled as Jack Butland's replacement at Rangers in the ongoing transfer window.

The Croatia international has joined the Gers from Hull City, with the former Crystal Palace shot-stopper going the other way in two separate deals.

Derek McInnes has a new number one at the Light Blues after spending £6million on the 26-year-old.

Before becoming a big star at the MKM Stadium, Pandur faced struggles to get into Liam Rosenior's plans in Yorkshire.

The Tigers paid around £1.5m to sign the shot-stopper from Fortuna Sittard in January 2024, and a few months later, the English manager was sacked.

With the Croatian ace becoming a key player for Hull in recent years, they finally won promotion back to the Premier League after beating Middlesbrough in the EFL Championship play-offs final.

Liam Rosenior's Ivor Pandur disagreement at Hull City

Pandur didn't make a single appearance for Hull in the 2023-24 campaign after signing in the winter transfer window.

Ryan Allsop remained Rosenior's number one at MKM Stadium due to his ball-playing abilities, which reportedly led to discontent within the hierarchy.

According to The Athletic in February 2026, there was a disagreement between Rosenior and the Tigers' chairman Acun Ilicali, who wanted Pandur to be given opportunities.

In the end, the 41-year-old head coach was sacked by Hull and the Croatia international went on to fulfil his potential before his eventual move to Ibrox.

Rangers summer signings so far as another one confirmed

Rangers have announced Dan Neil's signing on a free transfer after his contract at Sunderland expired.

Lawrence Shankland became the first arrival at Ibrox and subsequently was reunited with Derek McInnes after Danny Rohl's departure.

Ross McCrorie, Ben Godfrey and Pandur have come through the doors at the Gers since, and Neil now becomes the latest addition to the Scottish manager's squad ahead of next season.

The English defender is the only loan signing of the summer so far, having joined from Atalanta, a stark contrast to how the Glaswegian outfit conducted business under Kevin Thelwell.

Andrew Cavenagh has once again shown he's willing to splash the cash and fans in G51 should be expecting more arrivals soon.
