• Scot replaces Neil Harris on 'long-term contract' at Den
• Neil has managed Norwich, Preston, Sunderland, Stoke

Millwall have appointed Alex Neil as their new head coach. The 43-year-old Scot replaces Neil Harris, who stepped down from the role earlier this month. Neil had been out of work since being sacked by Stoke last December, having previously managed Hamilton, Norwich, Preston and Sunderland.

Millwall, who were led by caretaker boss David Livermore in their last three fixtures, sit 13th in the Championship table following Sunday's goalless draw at Coventry. Neil will take charge of the team for the first time when Oxford visit The Den on New Year's Day.
