Club career

After playing for Fylkir, Ragnar joined Swedish club IFK Göteborg in 2006. He made his Allsvenskan debut on 6 April 2007, starting the first match of the 2007 season. He would go on to play 90 minutes in all 26 of the club's league matches, forming a formidable partnership with Mattias Bjärsmyr as the team won Allsvenskan 2007. He was constantly being linked to several big clubs in Ligue 1, Serie A, Bundesliga and the Premier League. IFK Göteborg's sports director, Håkan Mild commented that the club could get a transfer fee around €3 million for the talented defender.[1] During his second season, Ragnar played 29 matches[2] (of 30) as the team finished in 3rd place. The club also won the Supercupen and Svenska Cupen during the 2008 season.

F.C. Copenhagen

On 30 May 2011, Ragnar signed a four-year contract with Danish champions F.C. Copenhagen.[3] The fee is believed to be around 5.5 million DKK.[4]

FC Krasnodar

On 23 January 2014, Russian Football Premier League club FC Krasnodar announced they had signed Ragnar on a two-and-a-half-year deal with option for another year.[5]

Fulham

On 23 August 2016, Ragnar signed a two-year deal with the Championship side Fulham for an undisclosed fee.[6] He scored his first goal for Fulham in a 2–0 win against Ipswich Town on 26 December 2016.[7]

Rubin Kazan

On 3 August 2017, he returned to Russia, signing a loan deal with FC Rubin Kazan for the 2017–18 season.[8]

International career

Ragnar was selected for the 23-man squad led by Heimir Hallgrímsson and Lars Lagerbäck for Euro 2016.[9] He scored his first goal for Iceland on 16 November 2014 in a 1–2 UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying defeat at Doosan Arena against the Czech Republic.[10] On 27 June 2016, he scored Iceland's first goal in a 2–1 upset against England in the round of 16.[11][12] His endeavours in the match resulted in him being selected as man of the match.[13] Ragnar made a last-ditch tackle, described as "outstanding", to deny Jamie Vardy a potential equalizer in the match.[14]
