Among those to depart from the youth ranks are Adam Devine, Cole McKinnon and Archie Stevens - all three of whom made first team debuts.

He had been on loan at Ayr United for the second part of this season. Stevens, a striker, made his debut in a Premier Sports Cup match against Queen of the South in 2022 at the age of just 16. He was sent on loan to Dunfermline for the latter half of the current campaign. A statement from Rangers read: "Rangers Academy can today confirm the departure of a number of players who will now continue their footballing journey elsewhere. "Lewis Budinauckas, Jay Hogarth, Jacob Pazikas, Jack Harkness, Kristian Webster, Leyton Grant, Kerr Robertson, Darren McInally, Grant Leitch and Harry Weir are all moving on. "Adam Devine, Cole McKinnon and Archie Stevens, all of whom featured for the first-team at various points in their Rangers careers, will also depart the club upon the expiration of their contracts, and we thank each for their contributions over the years.

But it was down to the second tier last season and the full-back hasn't done enough to stay on at Ibrox. McKinnon is another who has a decent amount of first-team experiences and was even trusted by Philippe Clement against Benfica in the Europa League last season. But they will now be on the hunt for a new club along with the other 11 confirmed as leaving this morning.

Turns out Adam Devine isn't dying from stiff person syndrome any time soon
Adam Devine is dying. Adam Devine is not dying. Adam Devine has had a devil of a time the last few years with doctors trying to figure out why some of his muscles have been going into almost-paralytic spasms. One even suggested he could expect to die soon. Turns out it is likely the pandemic's fault. 'The Righteous Gemstones' actor was a guest on the 'In Depth With Graham Bensinger' podcast this week when he invoked the specter of stiff person syndrome. The two had been talking about the childhood cement-truck accident that dramatically disabled the actor when he was 11. ('Broke everything from my waist down besides my right femur and then crushed everything from the knees down and took all my skin off,' Devine previously said of the accident on Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast in 2019.) His legs are 'still messed up' now, he told Bensinger, pulling up a pant leg to reveal a gnarly scarred calf. 'I still, like, deal with things.' No surprise, given that he had to relearn how to sit, stand, walk, run — even how to go to the bathroom at school. He said he couldn't walk from sixth grade until partway through eighth as he had surgery after surgery. But in recent years, he said, he's been trying to figure out why his lower body has been tightening up so much that once again his movement is limited. He said it hurts to sit, stand or walk for very long, and he has to stretch and foam-roll multiple times a day. 'For a while [doctors] told me I was dying. Literally within this last year, they told me that. They told me I had this disease called stiff person syndrome,' Devine said. The 'Pitch Perfect' star explained that the rare condition, which singer Celine Dion has famously been battling in recent years, makes the muscles so tight that a person ultimately can no longer walk or move. 'Then your heart will stop beating, because your heart is a muscle, and it gets too tight to beat, and then you die.' Devine was told he had the disease in early 2024, a month before his son, Beau, was born. An average life expectancy of six years was part of the diagnosis. 'So I'm like, great, now I'm going to die, he's going to be 6 years old, he's only going to know a crippled father,' he said. 'And then they told me, 'We think you might not have that.'' Wait, what? Mmm-kay. But six months went by and still he could walk only a few blocks before he would get impossibly tight. He wasn't getting any better. So then doctors thought once again that he did have stiff person syndrome. So they sent the four-time Emmy nominee to the physician they said had 'coined the phrase' stiff person syndrome, a doctor who was 'the' expert in the field, hoping for a definitive diagnosis. That guy told Devine nope, still not stiff person syndrome. 'He was like, 'This is from your accident when you were a child. The spasms are a little unexplainable, but it could just be you got so tight that your body doesn't know what to do with it, so you're misfiring a little bit.'' So now, Devine said, he thinks he simply might have worked out too much during the pandemic lockdown. 'I was so bored. ... I have the personality that I have to do things 110%,' he said. Work, play, food, music, everything in his life gets approached almost with obsession. 'During the pandemic I just got into cycling and CrossFit and I had all the time in the world.' He would ride the bike for 40 or 45 miles a day, he said, then go straight into an intense CrossFit workout. 'I think I just got so tight, and so tightly wound, and my body has all these things that are a little wonky and a little wrong with it, that I just sort of snapped,' he said. 'I'm still dealing with it. It's been three years now.' Since learning that he's not going to die soon, he has gotten stem-cell treatments, he said — done in Medellín, Colombia — in his knees, hips and back. 'I think they're kind of working,' Devine said. 'I'm the best I've been, now, in three years.' Still, don't expect him to be taking on any action-hero roles in upcoming comedy-action movies, no matter how much he might want to do it. 'I'm going to be the comedy guy in the action movie, with an action star — and he does all the action stuff,' Devine said. 'But I really wanted to be the guy that does it all, because I like doing stunts. I think it's cool. 'But now I'm trying to walk that line and seeing what I can do and what I can't.'

'Modern Family' star told he was dying 30 years after being hit by cement truck
Adam Devine continues to live with chronic pain after he was run over by a cement truck when he was 11. On an episode of the "In Depth With Graham Bensinger" podcast, Devine, 41, recalled his terrifying childhood accident he believed was going to kill him. For the past three years, the "Modern Family" actor said, he has been in constant pain, making life "a nightmare." He revealed having "spasms all over," and it "hurts to sit for too long, it hurts to stand for too long and it hurts to walk for too long." According to Devine, doctors "don't really know" what's going on with him medically, but shared their own worse-case-scenario outcomes. "They told me I was dying. Literally, within this last year, they told me that," he said. "They told me I had this disease called stiff-person syndrome. And that's when your muscles get so tight that you then, you can no longer walk. You can no longer move, then your heart will stop beating because your heart is a muscle and it gets too tight to beat, and then you die. "They told me I was dying. Literally, within this last year, they told me that." "And, so, essentially, the average life expectancy is six years for someone that has that. And they told me that I have that literally a month before my son Beau was born," Devine added, referring to his 1-year-old son with actress Chloe Bridges. "And, so, I'm like, 'Oh great, now I'm gonna die.' "And then six months go by ... and it wasn't getting much better, and I could only walk a few blocks before I'd get so tight that I couldn't really move anymore. And they're like, 'We actually do think you have it. Go see the guy that coined the phrase stiff-person syndrome. He's the expert in the field.' And so I went and saw him. "And he's like, 'You don't have it. You do not have it.' He's like, 'This is from your accident, from when you were a child. The spasms are a little unexplainable, but it could just be you got so tight that your body doesn't know what to do with it. So, you're misfiring a little bit,'" Devine recalled. The "Pitch Perfect" star had stem cell treatment and is feeling "the best" he's felt in the past three years. In 2016, Devine shared details about getting run over by a cement truck when he was 11. "We were gonna go get candy," Devine told Entertainment Weekly. "And also rip pages out of Penthouse. That was a real agenda." Once Devine and his friends left the store, there was a miscommunication that led to the accident. "One buddy was across the street. He yelled, 'Come on!' as in, 'I'm excited to go look at boobs!' And I heard, 'Come on!' as in 'The coast is clear!'" Devine told the outlet. He walked his bike into the street and was struck by the vehicle. "They say the reason I lived was the bike took the hit first. I still slid 500 feet. Picked me up under the first two wheels and then spit me out," he said. Over the next two years, Devine underwent 25 surgeries and had limited mobility. During his interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor recalled the accident in a positive light. "I'm glad that it happened to me. It really gave me a driving force," he said. Devine was in a wheelchair during his recovery and began to write down jokes and sketches. He would even call into his local radio station and perform a Chris Farley impression. "A lot of comics say that something traumatic happened in their lives that sort of pushes them in this direction. "Some of their dads burned them with cigarettes and stuff. My dad just pushed me in a wheelchair, you know? It could be much worse. I just had a cement truck," Devine said.
