How Cammy Devlin can now be Derek McInnes' first Rangers signing by hijacking deal

Rangers could inflict another blow on Hearts by signing Cammy Devlin on a free transfer.

The Australia international's current contract at Tynecastle Park ends this summer, but he reportedly has an offer on the table to extend it.

There are other teams in America interested in the 28-year-old, and he's waiting until the end of the Socceroos' 2026 World Cup journey.

MLS side Real Salt Lake have proposed to give Devlin what could be the biggest deal of his career, but the Ibrox hierarchy should look to reunite him with Derek McInnes.

The Scottish manager is expected to replace Danny Rohl at the Glaswegian outfit and the 28-year-old midfielder was one of his most important players in the 2025-26 campaign

What the Govan side should do next is try to match the conditions of the American club's offer to entice Devlin to G51.

Hearts face Cammy Devlin summer transfer heartbreak

Hearts prepare for a season in the Champions League after finishing second in the William Hill Premiership, but they may have to navigate that without some of their key figures from this season.

Lawrence Shankland has already completed a move to Ibrox, while McInnes looks poised to take over the Light Blues soon.

According to the Daily Record on 15 June, Devlin is now mulling over his future at Tynecastle Park, with clubs from Turkiye and England also keeping an eye on his situation.

Devlin partnered with Beni Baningime in a double pivot under McInnes, making 33 appearances in all competitions, but his situation is now one to keep an eye on.

Derek McInnes knows he needs Cammy Devlin at Ibrox

Sources told Football Insider in April that Rangers were expecting significant interest in Nicolas Raskin this summer and had been bracing for offers.

The 25-year-old midfielder caught a lot of eyes with his performance off the bench against Egypt in Belgium's 2026 World Cup opener, with some crisp passing and tenacity in the engine room.

It wouldn't be surprising to see the Gers finally cash in on Raskin in the coming weeks, leaving McInnes with a clear priority to replace a pivotal figure of the squad at Ibrox.
