Rangers' new goalkeeper, Ivor Pandur, faces a "tight" turnaround to be ready for the start of the Premiership season, according to Allan McGregor.

The 26-year-old, who signed from Hull City, will join the squad on July 20. Jack Butland went the other way, joining the EPL newcomers on a two-year deal.

But having played a long season, including the Championship play-off final and the World Cup with Croatia, Pandur only has 11 days to prepare for the league opener against Dundee United on July 31.

Goalkeeping coach McGregor told Rangers TV: "He’s had a long, hard season, probably over 12 months because Hull got to the Championship play-off final, straight into the World Cup.

"He’s keeping himself fit, he’ll join us a week on Monday. There are only two games before the start of the season, so it’s tight."

He added, "That’s modern-day football. There are games all through the summer and not a lot of time off, so players have to come back ready."
