How much Rangers value Ross McCausland as transfer suitors revealed
Ross McCausland is set to leave Rangers before the 3 September deadline.
The 23-year-old spent last season out on loan with Cypriot side Aris Limassol.
He made 26 total appearances for them, scoring four goals and failing to provide a single assist.
McCausland has made 67 competitive appearances for Rangers, but doesn't look to have a role under Derek McInnes moving forward.
Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers Enterprises have backed McInnes heavily in the market this summer, with significant funds spent on new plaers
The books must be balanced, then, and McCausland is now surplus to requirements in Govan.
Which two European sides are interested in Ross McCausland?
It was revealed last week that McCausland is free to leave Rangers in what remains of the transfer window.
However, given his underwhelming loan stint in Cyprus last term, generating a market for him always felt like being a challenge for Gers.
Still only young and a five-cap Northern Ireland international, there is still undoubtedly a player in there for someone willing to take a gamble on him.
The Sun journalist Ekrem Konur claims via X on Wednesday that Esenler Erokspor and Fatih Karagumruk have enquired about signing McCausland.
Both these teams play in Turkey's second division, so it would offer him a route to potentially playing in a top European league in the future.
Konur claims that Rangers would demand around £343,000 for McCausland to sanction his exit before the deadline.
So, out of these two sides, which one might be the better and more likely destination for McCausland?
How likely would McCausland be to win Super Lig promotion with these clubs?
Starting with Esenler Erokspor, they were plying their trade in the fourth tier of Turkish football as recently as the 2021-22 season.
They won another promotion to the second tier in the 2023-24 season, and have been playing at this level ever since.
In their two full terms in the second division they've finished 12th before narrowly missing out on Super Lig promotion last season in third.
Karagumruk, on the other hand, are back in the second division after finishing bottom of the Super Lig in 2025-26.
As a result, they are the higher profile club out of the two, but it's the latter who are very much on the up.
So, whilst Karagumruk could possibly offer more lucrative terms and bigger pedigree, Esenler Erokspor may be able to sell their project to McCausland better.
