Devlin's Tynecastle Departure
Cammy Devlin has officially joined Hearts, playing a pivotal role as they achieved their highest Rangers earlier in the summer, reuniting with manager Derek McInnes at Ibrox.
Reunion with McInnes
Devlin flourished under McInnes during their time together at Hearts, and the midfielder was quick to express his delight at linking up with his former boss again.
"It feels amazing. I am obviously so happy to get it over the line; with the gaffer coming here and a lot of change happening at the club, it feels like a great time to be coming here," Devlin told Rangers' official channels. "It is just an absolute honour and privilege; I am so aware, being in Scotland for a while now, the size of the club and everything that comes with playing at such a massive football club. To call myself a Rangers player now feels pretty special and I just cannot wait to get started."
McInnes echoed that sentiment, praising Devlin's consistency and knowledge of the Scottish game.
"Cammy is obviously a player I know, and I am well aware of what he will offer to Rangers. His levels of consistency for me were superb, and he is the type of player that every manager wants in his team. He is someone who knows the Scottish league, and nothing will surprise him with what lies ahead. I am looking forward to welcoming Cammy to Rangers and working with him again after he returns from his holiday."
Rangers' Summer Rebuild
Devlin becomes Rangers' fifth signing of the summer window, joining Ross McCrorie, Ivan Pandur, Ben Godfrey, Dan Neil, and the aforementioned Shankland. The Ibrox club remains active in the market, with talks ongoing for other midfield targets, including Jens Hjertø-Dahl of Tromsø and Partizan Belgrade captain Vanja Dragojevic.
The squad overhaul under McInnes signals a clear intent to challenge for the Premiership title after last season's near-miss, and Devlin's arrival adds proven quality and reliability in the engine room.
