Pandur says Rangers arrival comes at 'perfect time'

[Getty Images] Ivor Pandur cannot wait to get started at Rangers and the Croatian goalkeeper believes he has arrived at the "perfect time" in his quest for silverware. The 26-year-old was signed from Hull City at the end of June but has just arrived in Glasgow this week after representing his country at the World Cup. Pandur, who has yet to earn a full international cap, agreed a four-year contract, having helped Hull win promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs. "I have worked all my career for this moment to be here and I'm really excited and ready to go," he told RangersTV. "All of my career I have wanted to be part of a club that fights for trophies and I feel like this is the perfect time to do it. "I have a lot of experience behind me, and I'm ready to give everything for this club." Pandur made 48 appearances for Hull last season, having joined from Dutch club Fortuna Sittard in January 2024. He started with local club Rijeka and spent three years with Hellas Verona in Italy. "I started talking [to Rangers] maybe four years ago when I was still in Holland, but it wasn't the right moment," Pandur revealed. He also sought advice from Hull team-mates John Lundstram and Kieran Dowell, who both have recent experience of playing for Rangers, along with compatriot Antonio Colak, who left Ibrox in 2023. "They all said you'll never experience anything like it," Pandur added. "They said it's one of the biggest clubs that you can sign for, and that's why I didn't have much thinking to do. "When I knew it was really serious and it could be done, it was the first thing I did. I wanted to hear their thoughts and experiences about everything. "Everything they said just made me more sure it's what I want to do."
