Jack Butland left Rangers at the start of July to join the newly promoted Premier League side Hull City.

The 33-year-old signed a two-year contract at the MKM Stadium, joining as a replacement for Ivor Pandur, who moved in the opposite direction.

The two players were not included in a swap deal, but two separate transfers, with Pandur joining Rangers for a £6m fee while Butland moved to Hull for £3m.

How will you remember Jack Butland for his time as the Rangers number one?

Hull City prepare transfer to make Jack Butland the second-choice keeper

Hull City are set to sign Konstantinos Tzolakis from Olympiacos, according to Give Me Sport’s Ben Jacobs.

This move would see Butland falling down in the pecking order, less than a month since his move to the MKM Stadium.

The 23-year-old will be undergoing a medical on Saturday before he flies to Slovenia to join the rest of his new teammates at their pre-season training camp.

The former Rangers goalkeeper is certainly not going to be ahead of the Greece international in the pecking order at Hull.

The Tigers signed him on a long-term contract, and it is clear that they want him to be the number one for the present and the future.

Did Rangers strike gold with the Butland deal?

Rangers will undoubtedly be delighted with the way they managed to cash in on Butland this summer.

The Light Blues signed the English goalkeeper on a free transfer back in 2023, and despite having standout spells at Ibrox, his overall game did not improve a great deal since he joined.

However, the club still managed to sell him for decent money and put in some money of their own to sign an upgrade.

How much should Rangers demand for his services?

Butland is unlikely to get game time at Hull, which would be a bit strange for him as he was in the limelight at Rangers and every performance was scrutinised.

The Gers have been criticised for not being able to cash in on players, but they need to be lauded for how they managed to get the 33-year-old off their books.

Fans will be hoping that Pandur can be an assured presence between the sticks and be more reliable than his predecessor.
