Ben Godfrey: Rangers sign ex-Everton defender on season-long loan from Atalanta

Rangers have signed ex-Everton defender Ben Godfrey from Atalanta on a season-long loan, with an option to make the deal permanent next summer.

Your Site News revealed on Sunday that the 28-year-old had completed a Rangers medical ahead of his move from the Serie A side.

Godfrey becomes Rangers' third summer signing after the arrivals of Lawrence Shankland and Ross McCrorie.

The Englishman moved to Atalanta from Everton in the summer of 2024, but has since been on loan at Ipswich, Sheffield United and Brondby.

On signing for Rangers, Godfrey said: "I am buzzing, I am really happy to be here. I know the size of the club, so it is a massive honour to be wearing the shirt this season, and I can't wait to get started.

"I am looking forward to meeting the boys and hopefully helping this club achieve what it deserves, which is silverware and exciting times."

Gers boss Derek McInnes said: "Ben is a player who has competed at a very high level throughout his career. He's played in the Premier League, been involved with England, and brings a lot of experience with him.

"He's a strong, athletic defender with good qualities both on and off the ball, and we believe he can add a lot to the squad. We're pleased to get him in, and I'm looking forward to working with him in the season ahead."

Goalkeeper Ivor Pandur is set to join Rangers from Hull City in a move worth around £6m.

In a separate deal, Jack Butland is set to depart Ibrox for Hull in a £3m switch.

Pandur, 26, moved to Hull City in 2024 and played in all but one Championship game last season, plus kept clean sheets in both play-off semi-finals and the final as Premier League promotion was secured.

He is currently at the World Cup with Croatia but is expected to join the Ibrox club for the new season.

Butland moved to Glasgow in 2023 and has made over 150 appearances for Rangers, having previously been at several English clubs including Stoke City, Crystal Palace and Man Utd.
