Competitive, aggressive, energetic, and technically capable, the Hearts midfielder has every reason to be optimistic about his future under the new coach. He has to wait until next month to start pre-season training with McInnes in charge, but he knows what to anticipate. McInnes’ teams in Kilmarnock and Aberdeen were bold and competitive, with a physical edge. They could also play attacking football, with wide players supporting a mobile striker.After finishing eighth in the Scottish Premiership this season, Hearts needed that combination of grit and pace, which is why they decided to sign McInnes from Rugby Park for his league experience. Beni Baningime, Devlin’s Hearts midfield colleague, expressed his feelings about meeting McInnes’ Kilmarnock club earlier this month. “I dislike playing Kilmarnock. I detest it. “They’re so hard to play against,” he said. “If that’s what we’re going to be in terms of being difficult to beat, I embrace it because you need that on your team. If your boss is driving it, it will be really fantastic for us.”
