Cammy Devlin ✍️🇬🇧
10 Jul 2026 15:30:17
Please no!
10 Jul 2026 15:32:50
Good squad option imo.
10 Jul 2026 15:37:01
Good option. He was brilliant in spells last year on a free, it's a no brainer.
10 Jul 2026 15:41:52
Great option to have guys.
Realistically knows our league.
N will be great n hard drawn out games.
N cup scrapes.
Will really help our squad.
10 Jul 2026 15:45:17
Standards within the Rangers support are plummeting.
10 Jul 2026 15:50:27
No reason to doubt you, Fourlads, so when are we likely to hear we've officially signed Cammy Devlin, mate? 🤔
10 Jul 2026 15:52:30
Connor Barron £5m to West Ham and his replacement for free suits me.
10 Jul 2026 15:53:32
Can only agree, mph.
10 Jul 2026 15:53:52
Doesn't get me overly excited, but, end of the day we do need these kind of signings. Yes, we probably have better players, but they don't turn up enough. This boy does what's asked of him, nothing fancy, just does his job. I like those guys.
10 Jul 2026 15:59:07
Anybody on this page saying Devlin is a good signing for Rangers shows you what you think of Rangers, he's pish, he couldn't lace Barron's boots, and he's not even good enough, turning into Hearts, it's actually embarrassing, to be honest. Be lucky to get 3rd this year.
10 Jul 2026 15:59:13
On a free is a no brainer. Especially if rumors about a substantial fee for Barron are true. However, the amount of defensive midfielders we have is frightening. A couple of goal scoring/attacking minded players would be grand.
10 Jul 2026 16:00:44
Agree with Mph, nowhere near good enough to be a starter. Only way I'd accept it is if Barrons on way out and he's a replacement on the cheap.
He should absolutely not be a replacement for Raskin, Dio, or Chukwuani.
10 Jul 2026 16:06:58
Jesus really hoped this has gone away.
Don't quite get it. Is this what EHL was getting at in his latest article about fans being patient as we see a potential in the quality of the squad?
After all the MFs that had been mentioned, surely Devlin is only considered as a last resort, and even then, surely Barron has more potential.
10 Jul 2026 16:10:44
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
On reflection, I would say one of the biggest reasons we have been losing the league is throwing games away in the last 20 minutes of a game, or not having the character to win the game in the closing stages.
I think, as a squad player, he brings a lot of character, leadership and was part of the leadership support at Hearts.
I think the guy is underrated and would make a good squad player. How badly did we miss Barron when he got injured home to Aberdeen?
10 Jul 2026 16:14:17
Good free transfer, if you ask me. Full of energy and fight. Something we lacked massively when we had 5 cup finals.
10 Jul 2026 16:14:25
Solid boy to come on and keep a lead or when times are scrappy. Hopefully, Dahl and the Belgrade boy next. Praying we manage to get in 1/2 wingers though. A right winger is an essential, surely.
10 Jul 2026 16:14:38
If you noticed the dip Hearts took when Devlin and Shankland were out the team, and how good they got when they came back, he can't be that bad. No doubt we're definitely going to sign better players than him, it's a squad game.
10 Jul 2026 16:14:57
I think if we can get decent money in for Barron then replacing him with Devlin is a bit of a no brainer. I really don't get all those claiming Barron is much better. For me it's pretty close between the two. Devlin will be a decent squad option, much like Barron for last couple of seasons.
10 Jul 2026 16:16:42
Good signing when he's free imo.
Good player to bring off the bench to see games out. He's got the fight that a lot of our players have been lacking!
10 Jul 2026 16:17:49
Solid signing for domestic games, but unsure if he has the quality to step up. Outside Old Firm, he's been best ball winning midfielder in the country for a few years. Not a Rolls Royce, but he does the dirty side of the game well.
10 Jul 2026 16:19:37
Nothing wrong with adding squad depth on a free transfer. As many have said, he knows the league and will do a job when needed. I don't expect him to be a regular starter and don't see an issue with strengthening the squad with backup options for free.
10 Jul 2026 16:27:51
Water carrier as Cantona would say.
10 Jul 2026 16:29:03
Good post WATP891, as usual, though, the red mist descends and personal comments are made to fellow posters if their views aren't aligned.
You can think Devlin is pish if you want, but others are entitled to their opinions too. It's a rumour, that's what this site is about.
Personally I don't see him as a starter but a really good option to bring on. As a DM he had one of the best performance figures in the league (better than our players), so if he is pish then so are the guys getting their laces tied for them (which I don't agree with).
I'm sure he won't be on big wages and he is free. After all, same was levelled initially against likes of Bomber, Hurlock etc - never the sexy signings but did a job for us.
There seems to be others that are main targets so I don't think that if Devlin is signed we won't still go after Dragojovic, Ferguson (just waiting for that to kick off now) or Dahl etc - we will still pursue our main targets. Looks like loads of midfielders on way out so good back up.
10 Jul 2026 16:31:34
I'm really hoping this doesn't mean it lessens the chance of your Dahls and Drojevics.
Saying that I'd trust Devlin on a freezing cold night away to St Mirren.
10 Jul 2026 16:35:23
Has the egg pendulum swung again.
10 Jul 2026 16:41:47
Would rather keep Barron than have Devlin for me.
10 Jul 2026 16:43:05
I thought he was signing an extension with Hearts?
I'm glad if we get this over the line, he's not a starter but will no doubt burst a gut when required, it's exactly what we've been missing for years.
10 Jul 2026 16:45:05
Only reason I'd take Devlin is to stop us signing Watt. Devlin and Watt are of the standards of Halliday and Jason Holt at best.
10 Jul 2026 16:45:47
No such thing as a free signing on fee / wages etc reduce overall budget.
10 Jul 2026 16:57:25
I was with Cammy Devlin, his Mrs and his Mrs' dad last night in Indigo Yard. They were out celebrating. I assumed it was the Hearts rumours going around yesterday
If he's signing for Rangers then he gave nothing away last night, as best believe I was asking. I did, however, sing a few Rangers songs with his Mrs and her dad.
10 Jul 2026 16:58:36
Devlin done deal. And for the ones who want to moan, why not back the manager instead of saying we will be lucky to finish 3rd.
DM knows the club and knows what's expected, so maybe give him the chance and back the manager.
10 Jul 2026 17:03:13
If we get money for Barron, I don't mind this as a free, but I'd assume he'd be 5th choice if we get Dalh and the Serb.
10 Jul 2026 17:03:20
This place cracks me up. One of the players of the year last year, and he's pish lol.
Now I love wee Barron, and would rather have him, but the likelihood is he won't play much next season, so he can be sold for good money and an able replacement comes in.
I don't see an issue. Each to their own, though, and no opinion is wrong, just different.
10 Jul 2026 17:08:23
So the US team were offering him 12K per week, I read. Do we need to pay a squad player more than that to come on for the last 20 minutes to hold a lead? Also, what is the signing on fee? Could that take it closer to £20k per week? That is first team starter territory if that is the case.
10 Jul 2026 17:09:32
1872Rez, he was good in spells last year, so was Harry Potter, doesn't make him good enough to play for us hahaha.
10 Jul 2026 17:18:42
Barron couldn't lace his.
10 Jul 2026 17:21:26
I echo the fair minded on here, a guy who was very good last year who our new manager knows well on a free, people going on about standards, let's see how he gets on and judge him then.
10 Jul 2026 17:23:29
I don't think he makes us better, but if he's needed to fill out the squad I think it makes sense on a free. A decent player for sure, and not a bad thing to reduce the options of a team who like it or not have proven to be a rival. If only we did the same thing with Shankland 12 months ago.
10 Jul 2026 17:26:47
For those saying he's what you need for seeing games out & he's what we needed for the "5 cup finals", you all realise Hearts bottled it? He was in the game that mattered the most & lost to Celtic. He's not what we've been missing. What we've been missing is goals & assists from midfield.
10 Jul 2026 17:26:55
Angus, there are guys in the building doing nothing, and sometimes not even in matchday squads on more money than that. He will earn, most likely, what he's seen to be worth to a Rangers squad if he signs.
10 Jul 2026 17:28:17
MLS is a non starter for Devlin due to family reasons. Discussed that last night.
10 Jul 2026 17:36:06
I get some points, but times are changing with wages, and 12k a week is not a lot.
We also can't be buying a team full of
5-10million players and pay the same for squad players.
If we sell Barron for okay money and CD replaces him, they are pretty similar imo, neither might start, but both good, reliable options over a long season, and I think he's currently better than Barron.
FFP might be a factor as well, so again, if we're recouping decent money with no outlay other than similar wages, I think it makes great business sense.
10 Jul 2026 17:41:52
Declining would be a good reliable squad player but I would be gutted if we miss out on Dahl.
10 Jul 2026 17:47:37
Here's my take, folk saying not good enough etc need to have a think. In my opinion, neither Barron nor Devlin are starters in my ideal midfield, however, you need solid, dependable squad players throughout the season to cover injuries and suspensions. I think Devlin is an ideal player for that role and he's free! Take the money for Barron and replace him with a more than adequate Devlin. Better players can be bought and will start ahead of Devlin if fit and performing.
