Rangers have completed the signing of Dan Neil from Sunderland.

The Ibrox side have added the midfielder as their fifth signing of the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old joins Lawrence Shankland, Ross McCrorie, Ben Godfrey and Ivor Pandur in making the move to Glasgow this summer.

Neil had been linked with moves down south, including to Southampton, but has signed a three-year deal with Rangers.

He had spent last season on loan at Ipswich, where he won promotion to the Premier League after finishing second in the Championship.

Neil commented: “It is a new chapter for myself, and I am really excited to be signing for Rangers. I’m really looking forward to what the next few years can bring.

“I have played for Sunderland for a number of years and the weight and expectation of the fans to win every week and the feeling of it making or breaking people’s weekends is something that drives me.

“I’ve spoken to many people who have been here, and they said it's a very similar feeling, and as a character and a person that really drives me to give 110 per cent day in and day out, and I need that in my career.”

Derek McInnes added: "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, can contribute goals and brings tremendous energy to the team.

"At 24, we are signing a player who is hungry and ambitious, but who already possesses significant experience and leadership qualities, having captained Sunderland to promotion to the Premier League in 2025.

"I'm really looking forward to working with Dan throughout pre-season as we prepare for the challenges ahead."
