Gordon Strachan believes Hearts could be bracing themselves for another key departure to Rangers, with Cammy Devlin firmly on the radar.
The midfielder is out of contract at Tynecastle and currently away on World Cup duty with Australia, with his future expected to be decided after the Socceroos’ campaign concludes.
Real Salt Lake are understood to be leading the race for his signature, while Chicago Fire and Seattle Sounders have also shown interest. Hearts remain in talks over a new deal.
However, Strachan has suggested Rangers boss Derek McInnes could yet intervene, warning Devlin may be tempted by the chance to test himself at a higher level.

Speaking to Play UK, Strachan said: “Who will Hearts fans be worried about losing to Rangers? Cammy Devlin. They wouldn't want Devlin to go, he's been marvellous for them.
“He has to decide if he wants to continue at that level with Hearts or test himself somewhere else.
“It can be a problem for Hearts if players go to the World Cup and hear about how their team-mates are getting on at other clubs. Devlin would be the one I'd worry about.”
