It brings me senseless joy to illuminate you about a character by the name of Ross McCausland - a product of Northern Ireland, hatched into our merciless world on 12th of March 2003, hence making him an ancient age of 22 years. It doesn't take a detective to notice him on the pitch, as our robust friend has a height of 5ft 7in (or 1.71m in the more refined measurement). His bagpipe-playing frame weighs in at 10st 3lb (that's 65kg in the Queen's shillings). A joyous sight in his number 45 jersey, McCausland spends his days frolicking about the field for Rangers as a forward, though primarily as a right winger.
Rather impressively, it expands his sporting CV even further as he showcases his skills playing for the Northern Ireland national team. Such wide-eyed nationalism, it's truly quite heart-warming, isn't it? But I digress.
Our friend McCausland's debut season with Rangers, in the year of our Lord 2021-2022, saw him grace the pitch a grand total of once. The following season, 2022-2023, an encore performance — he made yet another singular appearance. The lad must have been saving his energy for the 2023-2024 slog, where he cultivated the grass of Scottish pitches 29 times, accomplishing the Herculean feat of netting the ball three times. As at present, in the 2024-2025 season, he's made an astounding 13 appearances.
If you're interested in his other sporting endeavours, strapping young McCausland took to the field in the League Cup 2024-2025, for no less than Rangers, where he scored once in two cameo substitute roles. He also played in the Scottish Cup for Rangers in the same year where he started once and — not wishing to shock you — scored once. Between 2022 and 2024, he started once in the Euro Qualifiers for his beloved Northern Ireland.
In the illustrious Europa League of 2023-2024, Ross started once and made four guest appearances as a sub, even managing to score once. Again, for Rangers of course. In the Champions League Qualifiers of 2024-2025, Ross has two starts for Rangers. For the Nations League of 2024-2025, he had two comma-inducing roles as a substitute for Northern Ireland. Unbelievably, Ross even found time for the Europa League again in 2024-2025 — this time appearing seven times as a substitute and scoring once. An eclectic range of achievements, wouldn't you agree?
