England Under-20 capped-Neil, 24, departs the Black Cats after eight years and spent the latter half of last season on loan at Ipswich Town. As well as recruiting new manager Derek McInnes from Hearts, Rangers have also signed defensive players Ben Godfrey and Ross McCrorie, forward Lawrence Shankland and goalkeeper Ivor Pandur this summer. "It is a new chapter for myself," Neil told club media. "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." And McInnes commented: "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."
