Rangers: player makes decision on whether to quit Ibrox – Sky Sports
The Sky Sports journalist tweeted that the 20-year-old agreed on the new deal on Monday (27 November) to keep him at Ibrox until the summer of 2027.
He added that the Northern Ireland international has chosen to commit his future to the Gers despite “growing interest” from clubs in England and across Europe.
This development on the future of McCausland will come as a huge relief for Rangers after he has emerged as one of the brightest young talents in Scotland.
The winger has forced his way into new Gers boss Philippe Clement’s plans since he arrived at the club and he has been desperate to keep a hold of him.
The Northern Irishman would have been able to leave for just £350,000 once his contract was up at the end of the season, but any fears of that happening are now just about put to bed.
McCausland is not only a massive talent for the Light Blues, but he is also a chance for the club to show that they are serious about giving young players a chance.
He will now be hoping to kick on further over the next few months to show exactly what he can do and that he can be an important player at Ibrox moving forward.
Winger Ross McCausland made his first start for Rangers in the Scottish Premiership at Livingston earlier this month; the 20-year-old was then handed a first Northern Ireland senior cap days later; McCausland was of interest to clubs in England and across Europe
McCausland has impressed under new Rangers boss Philippe Clement who handed the youngster his first start for the club in a 2-0 win at Livingston earlier this month.
Days later he earned his first senior cap for Northern Ireland and picked up the player of the match award despite defeat to Finland.
Rangers would have only received in the region of £350,000 in compensation if McCausland signed a pre-contract with a club outside of Scotland.
Gers boss Clement has been vocal in his desire for McCausland to stay at the club and insisted he was comfortable giving the player more senior team action before tying him down long-term.
“I could have treated the situation in a different way and first let him sign a contract before I let him play,” he said. “I didn’t do that because I know how important Glasgow Rangers is for Ross.
