Rangers Provide Update on Ross McCausland Ahead of International Break
With the international break approaching, Rangers have issued an update regarding their winger, Ross McCausland.
The 21-year-old has struggled to cement a regular spot in the starting lineup, featuring intermittently throughout the season. His most recent appearance came on February 26, when Rangers secured a 4-2 victory over Kilmarnock.
McCausland Earns Northern Ireland Call-Up
McCausland has been named in Northern Ireland’s senior squad for the upcoming international fixtures against Switzerland and Sweden. Rangers confirmed the news via their official X account on Tuesday, March 11.
The young attacker, who has earned three caps for his country but has yet to score at the international level, will be eager to break his duck if given the opportunity in the upcoming matches.
Barry Ferguson Must Help McCausland Raise His Game
McCausland’s domestic season has been underwhelming, with just one assist and no goals in the league. Interim manager Barry Ferguson will need to push the youngster to step up and meet higher expectations.
Ferguson, who flourished under pressure during his time at Ibrox, has already acknowledged McCausland’s similarities to Neil McCann, highlighting his energy and potential. With his deep understanding of Rangers’ standards, Ferguson can guide the 21-year-old in improving his decision-making, resilience, and ability to thrive in high-stakes situations.
At a crucial stage in his development, consistent first-team opportunities under Ferguson’s mentorship could be key to McCausland’s future at Ibrox. His versatility—capable of playing on either flank or as a shadow striker behind the No. 9—provides tactical flexibility, something Ferguson may look to exploit to get the best out of the young talent.
