Hull sign goalkeeper Butland from Rangers
Hull City have completed the permanent signing of goalkeeper Jack Butland from Rangers. The experienced England international moves to the MKM Stadium as a replacement or addition to Hull's goalkeeping ranks. Butland previously played in the Premier League and has represented England, bringing top-flight experience to a Championship-level side. Rangers free up a wage slot, while Hull add a seasoned shot-stopper ahead of their league campaign.

Butland's addition strengthens Hull's defensive foundation with a proven, experienced keeper who has faced high-pressure situations at club and international level. For Rangers, the departure reduces wage commitments but represents a loss of squad depth in goal. The impact on predictions is modest — goalkeeper signings rarely shift match models significantly unless the previous option was notably weak.
