Dan Neil

In the 2026–27 season Dan Neil has made 10 Premiership appearances (nine starts, one substitute), scoring one goal and receiving one yellow card. He has added three League Cup appearances with two goals and has also featured in European qualifying, which points to a role as a regularly selected central defensive midfielder who contributes occasional goals in cup competition and is trusted across competitions.

Neil's season average rating stands at 6.96 with a high of 7.65 and a low of 6.39, a relatively tight range that indicates consistent match-to-match performances; combined with regular Premiership starts, the ratings underline dependable contributions rather than volatile form swings.

Dan Neil is 24, English and plays as a central defensive midfielder for Rangers. He began his career as a Sunderland trainee in July 2010 and developed through Sunderland's ranks, registering goal contributions across 2022–23 to 2024–25 (two, four and two goals respectively). He spent a short loan at Ipswich Town in January 2026 and moved to Rangers in July 2026, a trajectory that moved him from academy development into regular senior involvement and then into a club with European commitments.

Neil joined Rangers from Sunderland on a free transfer in July 2026 after a short-term loan to Ipswich Town in January 2026; his senior pathway began with a Sunderland traineeship in July 2010. The moves consist of trainee development, a temporary loan and a free transfer to a club engaged in European qualifying – a transition that placed him into a squad with continental fixtures.
