Butland's farewell hints at Hull City move after Ibrox era

Jack Butland posted a heartfelt farewell message to Rangers supporters on Instagram, signalling his imminent departure to Hull City now that Croatian goalkeeper Ivor Pandur has arrived. After three seasons and more than 150 appearances, the 33‑year‑old former England international reflected on his time at the Scottish club. Butland’s three‑year spell at Rangers saw him feature in over 150 matches, establishing himself as a key figure between the posts. The former England international’s tenure added a solid chapter to his career. "Three years ago I made a decision to join this great football club, with no hesitation, and I'm so glad that I did," Butland wrote, emphasizing his commitment from the outset. He shared the message on Instagram, highlighting his personal connection to the club.
