Rangers have officially signed Dan Neil on a three-year contract, adding a dynamic midfielder to their squad.

The 24-year-old, who recently departed Sunderland after his contract ended, was in discussions with Southampton and appeared poised to join them. However, Rangers successfully secured his services, marking a significant addition to their lineup. Neil had a productive loan spell at Ipswich Town during the latter half of last season.

Player Background

• Dan Neil made 201 senior appearances for Sunderland.
• He captained the team to Premier League promotion via the play-offs in 2024/25.

In an interview with RangersTV, Neil expressed his enthusiasm:

It is a new chapter for myself, and I am really excited to be signing for Rangers. I have played for Sunderland for a number of years, and the weight and expectation of the fans to win every week drives me.

Manager Derek McInnes shared his excitement about the signing, stating, "I'm absolutely delighted to welcome Dan to the club. He will be an excellent addition to our squad. He is a technically gifted midfielder who is strong in possession and brings tremendous energy to the team."

Rangers have also made several other signings this summer, including Lawrence Shankland, Ross McCrorie, Ben Godfrey, and Ivor Pandur.

The club will kick off the new season under McInnes's leadership against Dundee United on July 31, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Rangers.
