​Rangers are reportedly weighing a summer move for Cameron Devlin after his departure from Heart of Midlothian, according to Sky Sports. The potential reunion with Devlin would pair him once again with Rangers manager Derek McInnes, who knows the Australia international from their shared time at Tynecastle Park. A collaboration back at Ibrox could be on the horizon as the Light Blues bid to strengthen ahead of next season.
Rangers are intent on challenging for the Scottish Premiership title and are actively pursuing additional quality in the squad. Devlin, who is currently a free agent after failing to reach a new contract with Hearts, could fit the bill as the club looks to add fresh options in midfield. His experience at the international level and his performances for Hearts under McInnes have put him on Rangers’ radar as a potential option to bolster the squad.
Devlin’s World Cup appearance with Australia this year underscores his continued relevance on the international stage and his readiness for a new challenge in a different competitive environment. His previous success under McInnes at Hearts further enhances the prospect of a reunion at Ibrox, where the manager has already shown a knack for identifying and integrating players who fit his system and philosophy.
The potential deal comes as Lawrence Shankland has already linked up with McInnes at Rangers, following Shankland’s departure from Hearts. Devlin could become the next former Hearts player to join the club under McInnes, adding depth and versatility to midfield options. While Devlin is a primary target, Rangers are not limiting their scope. The club is also monitoring other midfield choices, including Jens Hjerto-Dahl of Tromsø and Vanja Dragojević of Partizan Belgrade, as part of a broader strategy to reinforce the engine room ahead of the new campaign.
Rangers have already completed five signings this summer, bringing in Ross McCrorie, Ivan Pandur, Ben Godfrey, Dan Neil, and Shankland. The club’s recruitment drive indicates a clear plan to strengthen in key areas and to build a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts. However, to challenge Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title next season and to make a serious run in both the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup, Rangers believe additional high-caliber additions are necessary.
The pursuit of Devlin aligns with a broader objective to enhance midfield creativity, ball progression, and defensive resilience. If a deal moves forward, he could add valuable depth and flexibility, enabling McInnes to deploy him in multiple roles across midfield as needed throughout a demanding campaign. Devlin’s versatility—able to contribute in transition, balance the defensive lines, and contribute to buildup play—would be a welcome asset as Rangers seek to optimize their starting XI and their squad depth.
As negotiations progress, supporters will be watching closely for updates on whether Devlin will become the latest Hearts alumnus to switch to Rangers, continuing a trend of ex-Heart of Midlothian players making the move to Ibrox under McInnes. The coming weeks are likely to feature further developments as Rangers aim to complete remaining targets on their summer wishlist, with the overarching aim of reclaiming domestic supremacy and competing vigorously on all fronts in the upcoming season.
