Rangers man 'wanted' by new clubs this summer as Celtic player sends defiant message

Rangers have appointed Russell Martin as their new permanent manager, replacing Philippe Clement after Barry Ferguson's interim period. Martin is now focusing on shaping the squad at Ibrox.

Celtic aims to win the Scottish Premiership again next season and progress further in European competitions. Manager Brendan Rodgers is expected to add new players to the squad in the coming weeks.

Rangers winger Ross McCausland, 22, is reportedly a transfer target for clubs in England, Belgium, and America. Despite being under contract at Rangers until May 2027, his long-term future at the club is uncertain, and new manager Russell Martin faces a decision on whether to retain him.

McCausland, a Northern Ireland international with five caps, joined Rangers from Linfield in 2019. He has since made 66 appearances for the first team, scoring 7 goals. He signed a new contract in 2023, expressing his commitment as a lifelong Rangers supporter and his desire to repay the club and manager.

Former manager Philippe Clement praised McCausland's progress and work ethic at the time of his contract extension, stating he deserved the new deal and emphasizing opportunities for young players meeting the right standards.

At Celtic, defender Auston Trusty is preparing to fight for his place next season. After joining from Sheffield United last year, he fell behind Liam Scales in the defensive pecking order towards the end of his debut season.
