Meet Ross McCausland, a notable name in the less notable Northern Ireland, where he was born on 12 March 2003. Now that you've done the math, and yes, it does make our lad a tender age of 21. He's a dab hand with the spherical leather, primarily donning the right winger hat for none other than Rangers. A delicate height of 5ft and 7in (1.71m for the metrically enlightened), weighing in at an equally delicate 65kg or 10st 3lb, if stones fit the bill for you. Ah, the coveted Jersey number 45 — that's what our boy bears. McCausland, being a devout patriot, has also sported the green and white for the Northern Ireland national team.
Let me jolly you through McCausland’s career stats, they're rather invigorating, I assure you. Our speedy winger made his debut in the 2021-2022 season at the Rangers. A season that would echo in the annals of time for its sheer unremarkableness — a single first team appearance. Fast forward to season 2022-2023, he seemingly managed to change his ways, achieving the prestigious milestone of one first team appearance AGAIN (quite the persistent lad). Season 2023-2024 showed some signs of life, he graced the field on 29 occasions and netted the ball thrice. All well and good, until present season 2024-2025, where he has made his presence known a total of five times.
Carrying on this delightful ride with Ross, let’s delve into his other endeavours, all varying degrees of astounding, naturally. In the League Cup 2024-2025 for Rangers, he added one goal in two appearances — quite generous for a substitute, don't you think? For the Scottish Cup 2023-2024, McCausland managed to squeeze in one start and three stealthy appearances as a substitute. Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024 saw him on the pitch for his homeland with just the one start. In the Europa League 2023-2024, our boy had a single start and played a vital role in making up the numbers with four appearances as a substitute, scoring a decisive goal, of course. Champions League Qualifiers 2024-2025 noted two McCausland starts. As for the Nations League 2024-2025, two appearances as a substitute surely added to the excitement. Finally, Europa League 2024-2025 had Rossy boy carry his scoring streak from the previous year with one goal in two appearances. A career venture almost as dizzying as our nation's weather, I'd say.
