Cammy Devlin contract examined after Rangers injury scare

Cammy Devlin had a tough start to his Rangers career.

Derek McInnes brought one of his key lieutenants from Hearts to his new post.

Plenty of observers were left questioning the Australian after a poor beginning to his Ibrox career.

He has made nine appearances so far since his free transfer from Hearts, and had been starting to get to grip with the expectations.

Devlin suffered an injury scare in the 1-0 win over Celtic last time out, when he clutched his hamstring, but was forced to remain on the pitch as the Gers had used all their substitutes.

Ibrox News looks at his contract situation after a new update on his injury issue.

What is Cammy Devlin's contract situation at Rangers?

Devlin signed a two-year deal when he arrived in Govan earlier this summer.

That should take him until the summer of 2028, before his contract expires with the Auchenhowie club.

However, there is an option for both parties to extend their agreement by a f

That would see him stay at Ibrox until June 2029, if all goes well.

What is the latest on Devlin's injury issue?

Devlin was a worry after he went off against the Hoops, but an unlikely source has shared news.

Billy’s Barber Shop responded to a supporters question about the 28-year-old's fitness after posting a picture with him on Instagram.

A user asked “Has the guy recovered from injury? Was worried the other day."

The barber said back: “Good as new."

Therefore, Devlin should be fit for when the Bears return to action from the international break.

How has Devlin performed so far?

Devlin has featured six times in the Scottish Premiership, with four starts under McInnes.

He has not yet opened his account with a goal or assist from midfield, with 0.54 shots and 0.54 chances created per 90 minutes so far.

According to FotMob data, he has completed 88.2 per cent of his passes and is averaging 2.96 long passes per game.

He is standing out defensively, making 8.60 contributions per 90, with 4.03 tackles, 2.96 interceptions, 6.99 recoveries and 1.34 clearances.

In terms of duels, he has won 55.1 per cent of his ground duels and 80 per cent of his aerial battles.

That data suggests that he can have the required impact, especially when his side are without the ball, and supporters should not give up on him.
