Following the expiration of his Hearts contract, Cammy Devlin has joined Rangers on a two-year deal.

A fan-favourite at Tynecastle, Devlin made 176 appearances for Hearts over a five-year spell after joining from Newcastle Jets in 2021. The 28-year-old has been capped five times at senior level for Australia, making his debut in 2022. The midfielder was included in the 2022 & 2026 Socceroos World Cup squads, but did not play at either tournament.

Hearts announced yesterday that Devlin was given a deadline to commit his future to the club, but would depart a free agent after that deadline was not met. He now becomes the third man to swap Hearts for Rangers this summer after Lawrence Shankland also departed on a free, with Derrick Iciness taking over at his boyhood club.

Offering his first comments as a Rangers player, Devlin 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.

“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.”

Derrick McIness was delighted to welcome Devlin to Glasgow, he 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.”
