Someone at Tynecastle may want to put Claudio Braga under lock and key, and the Portuguese striker could be next on the agenda for Glasgow Rangers at this rate, following the Ibrox side's summer raids.
First up was Lawrence Shankland, the Scottish striker joining the Gers in a deal that felt a long way off, at least a year in the making after persistent links last summer.
Then it was Derek McInnes' turn to move to Glasgow, aged 54 and ending years of speculation by finally taking the top job at Ibrox.
And now, it's the turn of Cammy Devlin, the 28-year-old who has signed for the Light Blues this summer, following the expiry of his Hearts contract.
Where Devlin ranks in Rangers' summer transfer business so far
Starting with a starter this summer, it's hard to look past Shankland even now with the window leading up to now, a 30-year-old Rangers player who has been crying out for nine years in that role.
88 goals in 171 games for Hearts, as well as 66 in 162 games at Premiership level, which is a record you cannot argue with.
As for the rest, the capture of Ivor Pandur could prove a real coup, as the goalkeeping is in need of improvement, having seen Jack Butland commit four direct errors last season.
Pandur made just two mistakes in 48 Championship games in 2025/26, while making 5.28 saves, just ahead of Butland's record of 2.29.
There's also a lot to like about Dan Neil, as long as he doesn't show that Joe Rothwell marks two, the arrival of a free transfer especially bypassing Sunderland for promotion in 2024/25.
In the case of Ben Godfrey, this feels like something Rangers fans have seen before as the player seeks a renaissance at Ibrox, the Englishman stepping back after enduring a series of loan spells away from parent club Atalanta in recent years.
As for Ross McCrorie, the returning 28-year-old will replace James Tavernier safe and sound, having enjoyed a solid 2025/26 campaign in which he scored and assisted nine goals for Bristol City from his full-back position.

And then there's Devlin, a midfielder who has already flourished for McInnes' side, having topped the category for tackles last season (113).
In a free transfer, you won't be able to argue with that, even if it means potential consequences for those already at the club.
Which means the signing of Neil and Devlin to the Rangers team
The January arrival of Tochi Chukwuani kicked things off under Danny Rohl, while the arrivals of Neil and Devlin at Ibrox furthered the reshuffle of the pitch.
In comes out, however, with Mo Diomande set to leave amid his reduced role last term, while Connor Barron could command a fee of around £8m-£10m, amid growing interest in the young Scot.
Headlining, after Tavernier's outing, will be Nicolas Raskin, it must be said, from Belgium who looks likely to continue his World Cup appearances.
While the Red Devils bowed out at the hands of Spain on Friday night, Raskin once again loomed large in the midfielder's heart, proving to be instrumental in his country's progress to the quarter-finals.
The 25-year-old has been a real star in the tournament, especially registering two assists in his six games, three of which have been starts.

This follows what was a fantastic 2026 for Raskin under Rohl, the former Standard Liege man who looked the brightest in isolation, reinforcing why he remains the club's “best player” in Chris Sutton's view.
There have been disagreements and upheavals in recent years, but with Rohl in charge, Raskin seems to have found the pressure, finishing the season with 13 goals and assists in the Premiership, having created 12 'big chances' to boot.
With the likes of Hull City now sniffing around, and with Neil and Devlin in the building, he fears it's a sign of things to come.
Of course, Devlin may take the mantle as the new midfielder, there are certainly similarities in terms of what he and Raskin offer outside of the booty, as the latter ranked third in total attack last time out.
In Raskin's view of football, neither Neil nor Devlin appear at that level, although Neil's time at Sunderland saw him bag five goals and assists in 2024/25, while creating four 'big chances'.
Either way, with these two men already in the building, and the likes of Vanja Dragojevic and Jens Hjerto-Dahl tipped to follow, there's only one conclusion about Raskin's future.
His colorful time at Ibrox, it seems, is coming to an end.
