Ross McCausland nearing Rangers transfer reunion with former stars as Russell Martin makes room for new wingers
Ross McCausland is set to join Aris Limassol on loan, according to a report.
And the Ibrox academy graduate is set to link up with former Rangers stars Connor Goldson and Leon Balogun in Cyprus.
McCausland is facing limited game time under Russell Martin this season. Findlay Curtis looks to have grabbed his chance in pre-season and has moved ahead of McCausland in the pecking order.
Djeidi Gassama has also been added and hit the ground running.
Martin is looking at three more in McCausland's position as well. Rangers are working on a loan deal for Tottenham starlet Mikey Moore with a deal thought to be close.
Oliver Antman of Go Ahead Eagles is another target, with the Eredivise club looking to bank £5million for the Finnish international.
Crystal Palace's Jerusun Rak-Sakyi also remains on the wish list, although a recent injury is likely to delay any move.
The writing is on the wall for McCausland and the Rangers Review reports that that the Northern Ireland international will complete his move to Aris this week.
On potential departures, Martin said: "I think we have interest in a fair few of the players, but as and when they go, I don't know," Martin said. "I just wait for Kevin to tell me what's going on. And yeah, whilst they're here, they'll be treated with care and respect and professionalism.
"And it might not always be on the terms they want or like, but I think if we're honest with each other and we respect each other and they respect the group, there's not going to be a problem."

Rangers and Celtic fans warned over online ticket scams as fraudsters target clubs
The Glasgow giants are among the UK clubs most targeted by fraudsters who market non-existent briefs for sale on social media. Rangers and Celtic fans have been warned to look out for ticketing scams this season as new data reveals an estimated £2.5 million has been lost to football ticket fraud over the past two years. The Glasgow giants are among the UK clubs most targeted by fraudsters who market non-existent briefs for sale on social media sites such as Facebook and X. More than 2,400 cases of football ticket fraud were reported by Lloyds customers over the past two seasons, with total losses topping £500,000. The bank estimates there are likely to have been at least 12,000 victims across the UK since the start of the 2023/24 season, with over £2.5 million stolen by fraudsters. The UK Government has now joined forces with Lloyds to issue a warning to supporters as part of its Stop! Think Fraud campaign. Led by the Home Office, the campaign aims to better inform supporters and small businesses about the risks of buying dodgy briefs. Supporters of Liverpool are most likely to be targeted by fraudsters, followed by fans of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City. But cases have also involved fans of Celtic and Rangers, while Wrexham featured in the data after racing back to the second tier of the English football pyramid for the first time in more than 40 years. Fans aged 25–34 were the most common victims, making up 28 per cent of all cases, closely followed by 18-24 year olds. More than three-quarters of football ticket fraud cases last season started on social media, underlining the need for tech firms to do more to stop the fraudsters operating on their platforms. Fraudsters typically try purchase scams where people are tricked into paying for goods or services that don't exist. This involves scammers posting fake adverts or listings on social media, offering tickets at discounted prices or for sold-out games. Victims are then asked to pay upfront – usually by bank transfer – but the tickets never arrive and the fraudster disappears. Anti-fraud experts are urging fans to stick to official sources and only buy tickets directly from official club websites, ticket offices or their authorised partners. Deals advertised on social media should not be trusted. Liz Ziegler, Lloyds fraud prevention director, said: "It's easy to get swept up in the buzz of a new season – but scammers are banking on that excitement. With demand for tickets often outstripping supply, fraudsters know they can trick fans into paying for tickets that simply don't exist. "Social media is the main breeding ground for ticket scams and it's time these firms cracked down on the fraudsters lurking on their platforms." David Hanson, minister for fraud at the Home Office, said: "As the nation gears up for the new football season, so too do fraudsters, waiting to take advantage of loyal fans searching for tickets. "That's why we urge all football supporters hunting for tickets to Stop! Think Fraud. Stay alert and only buy directly from the clubs, their official partners and legitimate resale outlets. None of us want to miss a big game, but that will feel ten times worse if you've also handed hundreds of pounds to a fraudster for a ticket you'll never see."

Celtic hero Chris Sutton taken to task as radio personality points out ‘you appear to have missed Rangers' great result'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT seemed an innocuous enough comment. But this is Scottish football. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Chris Sutton was impressed by Hibs and Dundee Utd's exploits Credit: Kenny Ramsay 2 Ewen Cameron Credit: Michael Schofield So perhaps no-one, particularly not Chris Sutton himself, shouldn't be surprised that he swiftly found himself taken to task for congratulating Hibs and Dundee Utd for their European heroics. Martin Boyle smashed through the century mark of goals for the Hibees as they recorded a famous win against Partizan in Belgrade. And Dundee Utd upset the odds too with a fine battling 2-2 draw against Rapid Vienna in Austria which gives them a fighting chance of reaching the Conference League playoff round. Hibs will take on AEK Larnaca or Legia Warszawa if they can make it past Partizan while Dundee Utd will take on AIK Stockholm or ETO FC Győr of Hungary. And quick as a flash, Sutton took to X to write: "Well played Hibs and Dundee United this evening." But he found his comments quickly pounced on by radio host Ewen Cameron, who presents on Bauer Media's Greatest Hits Radio Glasgow as well as hosting The Big Scottish Football Podcast. He pointed out that no such praise had been forthcoming from Sutton on Tuesday night, when Rangers put in an impressive display in a 3-0 first leg Champions League qualifying win against Viktoria Plzen. He wrote: "You appear to have missed Rangers great result on Tuesday night. "They won 3-0."
