Cammy Devlin: World Cup Stress Led to Rangers Move

Cammy Devlin reveals his World Cup experience was "too stressful" due to unresolved club future. The Australian midfielder, with five caps, struggled to focus while his father asked daily about contract negotiations.

After Australia's last-32 defeat by Egypt, Hearts announced Devlin wouldn't sign a new contract, and Rangers confirmed his signing the next day. Manager Mc Innes switched from persuading him to stay at Tynecastle to recruiting him for Ibrox.

Devlin describes the move as "a hard decision" but "too good to pass up," praising his relationship with the manager. He remains grateful to Hearts for his European opportunity but couldn't refuse Rangers, calling it "super special."

Reflecting on last season's title heartache, Devlin aims to "go one better with Rangers."
