What happened: Derek McInnes has taken charge at Rangers after leaving Hearts, and reports suggest he could pursue Devlin, a player he knows well. Lawrence Shankland has already agreed to join Rangers, giving the new head coach one familiar face in the squad as he shapes his roster.

Why it matters: McInnes's arrival sets the tone for Rangers' summer rebuild, and the manager is expected to lean on players he trusts from previous stints. Bringing in known quantities like Shankland, and potentially Devlin, signals continuity in approach as the club looks to reassert itself.

What to watch: Watch for whether Rangers firm up interest in Devlin and how quickly McInnes adds to the squad ahead of the new season.
