What happened
BBC Sport's gossip column reports that Rangers are close to securing Adam Pandor, while long-serving goalkeeper Jack Butland appears to be on his way to Hull City. The Butland move would see the former Crystal Palace and England goalkeeper leave Ibrox in search of more regular game time. The story remains at the gossip stage with no official confirmation from either club.
Chance analysis
The potential departure of Butland would be significant for Rangers given his experience and standing in the squad, potentially requiring a goalkeeping reinforcement. For Hull, signing an experienced Premier League and international-level goalkeeper would be a notable upgrade. Pandor joining Rangers could indicate squad depth-building in midfield or attack. Both moves remain unconfirmed and carry lower confidence until official announcements.
If confirmed, Butland leaving weakens Rangers' goalkeeping options while Hull gain an experienced shot-stopper; Pandor adds depth to Rangers.
Monitor official confirmations of Butland-to-Hull and Pandor-to-Rangers before adjusting goalkeeper reliability metrics or Rangers squad depth assessments.
