After signing Cammy Devlin for Rangers, it is clear how fond of the player Derek McInnes is. He's not the only one.

It turns out former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou was very complimentary of his fellow Australian back in 2022 when he went up against him as a Hearts player.

Both came to Scotland in the summer of 2021, meaning Postecoglou was in his first season at Parkhead at the time and Devlin his first at Tynecastle at the time of the comments.

The former Socceross boss has always been very supportive of other Aussies and the then-Hearts midfielder had revealed how nice he had been to him on their meeting adding everyone in Scotland loved Postecoglou.

The then-Celtic boss responded: "I could introduce Cam to a few people who probably don’t like me!” the Celtic manager said.

“Nah, he is a good lad and a good player, they also have Nathaniel (Atkinson), who I know from Melbourne, and I am super pleased for them. They are Aussies and I have followed their careers pretty closely.

They are good young players and good young men as well. They are in a great environment, with a good club and I think this league is good for them. I am happy they are getting the opportunity.”
