Rangers secure latest summer transfer as manager's dream completes Ibrox move and contract details shared

Cammy Devlin has joined Rangers on a two-year deal with the option to extend his stay by a further year, the Premiership side have confirmed.

The Australian international’s exit from league rivals Hearts was confirmed on Friday after he failed to reach a deadline on agreeing fresh terms in Gorgie. Rangers boss Derek McInnes was his manager at Tynecastle last term, and with Lawrence Shankland already swapping the Jambos for Ibrox this summer, Devlin now follows the former Aberdeen boss to the Light Blues.

Devlin joined Hearts in 2021 and made 176 appearances in maroon. McInnes loved the battler’s consistency last season as Hearts finished second in the league and secured Champions League qualifiers. It’s why he was eager to move for him on a free transfer.

Who is the latest player to sign for Rangers

McInnes said: “Cammy is obviously a player I know, and I am well aware 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.”

The new Rangers midfielder insists it’s an honour to pull on his new club’s jersey and he is in no doubt of what will be expected of him. He said: “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.

What has Cammy Devlin decided to sign for Rangers?

“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.”

A Rangers statement adds: “Rangers can announce the signing of midfielder Cammy Devlin on a two-year deal, with the option for an additional year, subject to international clearance. The Australian international joins following the expiration of his contract with Heart of Midlothian, where he will reunite with manager Derek McInnes.

“Devlin made over 150 appearances for the Edinburgh outfit and was a central figure for the side in the last campaign as they recorded the highest Scottish Premiership points tally in the club’s history. He has been an ever-present for the Edinburgh side since, establishing himself as one of the finest midfielders in the Scottish Premiership alongside his appearances for Hearts in European competition.”
