According to sources, Rangers are about to complete a hijack after agreeing to outbid Southampton for a new signing.

The Glasgow team is prepared to embark on a new chapter after hiring former Hearts manager Derek McInnes as its new manager. He replaces Danny Rohl, who has moved to RB Salzburg.

Rangers had a disappointing end to the 25-26 season, losing the Scottish Premiership title to rivals Celtic.

As a result, they will attempt to bring in reinforcements during the summer transfer window, most likely to strengthen in a variety of positions on the pitch.

Rangers might have a busy few weeks and months as they attempt to support new manager McInnes in the transfer market.

Rangers Beat Southampton to Signing

According to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie and GIVEMESPORT contributor Ben Jacobs, Rangers have reached an agreement to recruit former Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil.

According to Jacobs, Neil is set to join Rangers as a free agent, with an agreement in place and nearing completion.

Downie confirms that Neil was in talks with Southampton and appeared to have decided to join the Championship team, but things altered dramatically in the last 48 hours as Rangers stepped in.

Neil has been having a physical at Ibrox for the previous 24 hours, and a deal is anticipated to be finalised soon.

Rangers signed Ivor Pandur from Hull for £6 million earlier this week, indicating that they are actively seeking to make moves in the transfer market.

Rangers vs. Celtic in Transfer Battle

Given their similar status in Scotland, it is not uncommon for Celtic and Rangers to be involved in transfer battles to sign new players.

That is the situation with former West Brom defender Michael Parker, according to writer Peter Rourke, who has confirmed that they are both keeping an eye on him during the summer transfer window.

Parker left West Brom in February and joined Swedish side Orgryte IS.

The two Scottish clubs will face stiff competition from Anderlecht, Udinese, and Strasbourg, making it difficult for either to sign him.

It is unlikely that this will be the last player for which both teams compete in the coming weeks and months.
