Pandur, who joined Hull City in 2024, showcased his skills by participating in nearly all Championship matches last season, contributing to the club's successful Premier League promotion with clean sheets in both the play-off semi-finals and the final.

Upon his signing, Pandur expressed his enthusiasm:

I am honoured and privileged to sign for such a big club with so much history. This club knows how to win and that's exactly why I am joining Rangers. I can't wait to hear the noise of Ibrox for the first time and I hope we will be successful together.

He has shown his quality, he is at a good stage of his career, and we believe he can be a commanding figure for the club. I am looking forward to welcoming Ivor into the team when he returns from the World Cup."
