Rangers have been busy this summer, and the arrival of Cammy Devlin as the club’s sixth signing signals a clear shift in direction for the Ibrox midfield.
The 28-year-old joins on a free transfer following the expiry of his Hearts contract, adding to a summer that has already seen considerable activity from the Glasgow club.
Devlin’s signing follows the arrivals of Lawrence Shankland, Derek McInnes, Ivor Pandur, Dan Neil, Ben Godfrey, and Ross McCrorie, each bringing something different to a squad being reshaped under McInnes.
Shankland remains the marquee move of the window, with the 30-year-old striker boasting a record of 88 goals in 171 games for Hearts that is simply impossible to argue against.
Goalkeeper Pandur also looks a shrewd piece of business, having made just two errors in 48 Championship games in 2025/26 while preventing 5.28 goals, compared to Jack Butland’s 2.29 last season.
Devlin himself ranked first in the division for total tackles made last season with 113, and he already flourished in a Derek McInnes setup during his time at Tynecastle.
On a free transfer, his arrival makes obvious sense, though the growing number of midfielders at the club raises serious questions about those already on the books.
The January addition of Tochi Chukwuani began the midfield rebuild under Danny Rohl, and the subsequent arrivals of Neil and Devlin have accelerated that process significantly.
Connor Barron could fetch around £8m to £10m amid growing interest, while Mo Diomande is also in line to leave following a reduced role last term.
The biggest departure of all, however, looks increasingly likely to be Nicolas Raskin, who has been described as the club’s “best player” by Chris Sutton.
Raskin proved particularly impressive during the 2026 Premiership season under Rohl, ending the campaign with 13 goals and assists while also creating 12 big chances.
The Belgian has also been a breakout star of the World Cup, registering two assists in six appearances and playing a key role in his country’s surge to the quarter-final stage.
Belgium’s exit at the hands of Spain could not overshadow Raskin’s contribution to the tournament, with the 25-year-old continuing to enhance his reputation on the international stage.
With Hull City among those now showing interest, the combined presence of Neil and Devlin in the building further signals that Raskin’s time at Ibrox may be coming to an end.
Devlin in particular shares traits with Raskin in an out-of-possession sense, with the former Hearts man’s tackle numbers illustrating the relentless energy he brings to midfield.
Neither Neil nor Devlin appears to match Raskin’s output on the ball, though Neil did contribute five goals and assists in 2024/25 at Sunderland while creating four big chances.
Reports linking Vanja Dragojevic and Jens Hjerto-Dahl with moves to Ibrox suggest the overhaul of the squad is far from finished this summer.
With so many midfielders now competing for places, and with Raskin’s stock higher than ever after the World Cup, there appears only one logical conclusion to his Rangers story.
His colourful time at Ibrox, it would seem, is coming to a climax.
