Football director Andrew Neville told the club website: "Neil is a player that has drawn lots of interest, external so we are delighted he has chosen Leicester.

"His quality and versatility will add considerable strength to the squad."

Manager Ally McCoist said: "That's life. There's no point in worrying about things you can't do anything about. We want players who want to play for Rangers."
