Heart of Midlothian midfielder Cammy Devlin has completed a free transfer to Rangers, marking the second time this summer the Ibrox side have raided Tynecastle. The 23-year-old joins fellow midfielders Vanja Dragojevic and Jens Hjerto-Dahl as potential targets for Derek McInnes' side.

What happened in the transfer?

Rangers confirmed the signing of Cammy Devlin on a free transfer after his contract with Heart of Midlothian expired. The Scotland U21 international becomes the second Heart of Midlothian player to join Rangers this window, following the departure of Vaclav Cerny to Besiktas. Devlin, who made 42 appearances for Heart of Midlothian last season, will add depth to McInnes' midfield options.

Why it matters for Heart of Midlothian

The loss of Devlin is a significant blow for Heart of Midlothian, who are already rebuilding their squad ahead of the new League One campaign. Manager Stephen Robinson will need to reinvest the funds wisely, with Livingston winger Lewis Smith joining for £300,000. The Dons are also targeting another winger to replace Topi Keskinen, who moved to OB Odense for £1million.

What comes next for Heart of Midlothian?

With the transfer window in full swing, Heart of Midlothian are expected to be active in the market. Robinson has hinted at further signings, particularly in the wide areas. Meanwhile, Rangers' interest in Jens Hjerto-Dahl continues, with Tromso rejecting a £5.5million bid from Cardiff City. The Norwegian midfielder has expressed a preference for a move to Ibrox over Besiktas.

How does this affect the League One race?

Heart of Midlothian' ability to replace key players like Devlin will be crucial in their bid to secure promotion. The loss of experienced midfielders could impact their consistency, but Robinson's recruitment strategy aims to strengthen the squad. With Aberdeen and Dundee United also making moves, the League One title race is shaping up to be competitive.
