Rangers are interested in a deal for Sunderland’s Dan Neil this summer, after a failed move for the midfielder in January.

The Light Blues are set for another big summer if they are to return to their glory days at Ibrox, with Danny Rohl in need of backing.

While the German’s future in Glasgow is up for debate, it’s highly likely that he will be handed another campaign at Ibrox, albeit with very high expectations.

If those expectations are to be met, the Gers will need another big recruitment push in the summer, with several areas in need of improvement after the disappointment of missing out on the title.

Rangers were linked with Neil in January, and reports suggest that interest is set to carry on through to the summer.

Rangers face competition for Dan Neil transfer

Given the experience he had gained throughout his time with Sunderland, Neil would have been a smart move for Rangers in the winter.

And having won promotion again this season, this time with Ipswich, it’s clear that the 24-year-old is the type of character needed at Ibrox.

A report from the Scotsman states that the Gers remain keen on a deal for Neil, who has attracted interest from clubs around Europe.

Rohl previously made it clear that Rangers need to sign “more leaders”, making a move for the Black Cats star somewhat of a no-brainer.

Gers could complete double Sunderland swoop

While Neil will not be a Sunderland player beyond this summer, Romaine Mundle will be, having been linked with a move to Ibrox at the same time as the midfielder.

The Black Cats seem intent on adding more quality to the wide areas, which will push him further down the pecking order this summer.

There is every chance that the Light Blues look to rekindle their interest in the former Tottenham winger, thus reuniting him with Neil in Glasgow.
