Rangers have set their sights on ex‑Hearts midfielder Cammy Devlin, with manager Derek McInnes keen to add the 28‑year‑old to a side that sits second in the Premiership, 69 points from 33 games, just one point behind leaders Heart of Midlothian.

Who is Cammy Devlin and why does he fit Rangers' needs?

Devlin left Hearts after five seasons when a new contract could not be agreed. He featured 33 times last season, showing the work‑rate and versatility McInnes values. The midfielder can slot into both central and wide roles, offering depth ahead of a congested fixture list. His familiarity with McInnes, who managed him at Hearts, should smooth the transition to Ibrox.

How does the potential signing align with Rangers' recent form?

Rangers entered the summer window after a disappointing finish: a 2‑5 win over Falkirk on 16 May 2026 was their last victory, but the team has since recorded a 2W‑0D‑3L run, with the most recent three results being losses. Despite scoring 66 goals and conceding 31 this season (+35 goal difference), the recent dip has left the club vulnerable in the title race.

What other targets are on Rangers' radar?

Sky Sports reports that Rangers are also in talks for Tromsø forward Jens Hjertø‑Dahl and Partizan Belgrade captain Vanja Dragojević. The Serbian midfielder is believed to cost around £4.5 million, and his move appears to be nearing completion, with Rangers reportedly close to an agreement with Hearts on the fee.

When could Devlin join Ibrox and what impact might he have?

If negotiations succeed, Devlin could sign before the pre‑season camp begins in early July. His arrival would give McInnes a fresh option in midfield, potentially turning the recent losing streak around. With the club already having secured Dan Neil, Lawrence Shankland, Ivor Pandur, Ben Godfrey and Ross McCrorie, Devlin would add depth to a squad already packed with talent.

Rangers' ambition remains clear: close the one‑point gap to Hearts and reclaim the title. Adding a player familiar with the manager’s style could be the missing piece that turns a shaky run of form into a sustained challenge.

What does this mean for the title race?

Should Devlin and the other targets arrive, Rangers will head into the new season with a reinforced roster, ready to press the leaders. The club’s current standing—second with 69 points, 19 wins, 12 draws and 2 losses—shows they are within striking distance. A successful transfer window could see them swap places with Hearts and reignite their campaign for the Scottish Premiership crown.
