'Rangers steal march over Sunderland's Neil' - gossip

Rangers have stolen a march on Sheffield United in the race to sign 24-year-old midfielder Dan Neil from Sunderland, but that could potentially free up 31-year-old Joe Rothwell to join the Blades from the Ibrox club. Rangers are interested in Hajduk Split defensive midfielder Niko Sigur, but the 22-year-old Canada international would prefer a move to Celtic, who are still keen and could restart talks.
