Rangers hand Brentford killer blow amid recent Ross McCausland development
Brentford will undoubtedly be fuming at Rangers tying Ross McCausland down to a four-year contract at Ibrox with his old deal running out in the summer.
This represents a missed opportunity for the Premier League side to secure a promising talent as they’ve been known to sign up and coming players on the cheap and moulding them into names some of the top sides want to sign.
The 20-year-old’s decision to commit his future to Rangers not only reinforces the Scottish club’s commitment to developing homegrown talent but also showcases their ability to retain players in the face of interest from top-flight English clubs.
Little over a week ago, Daily Record reported interest from Brentford, a side known for their strategic and analytics-driven approach to transfers, indicating that McCausland had caught the eye of Premier League scouts, highlighting his potential and quality.
The fact that Rangers managed to fend off this interest reflects not only McCausland’s loyalty but also the allure of staying with a club that is on the rise under the guidance of manager Philippe Clement.
For Clement, this successful contract extension is a testament to his impact on the squad and his ability to create an environment where young talents feel valued and want to contribute to the club’s success.
The timing, just ahead of a crucial Europa League clash, adds an extra layer of motivation for McCausland to showcase his worth.
Clement will undoubtedly be thrilled, as he continues to shape a Rangers side that not only competes domestically but also holds its ground against prestigious clubs in the transfer market.
