Ross McCausland nearing Rangers transfer reunion with former stars as Russell Martin makes room for new wingers
The Northern Irish international is facing limited game time under Russell Martin and has reportedly agreed a loan move 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."

Jack Butland reveals his Rangers reset and how he spent summer reminding himself of key message lost to 'overthinking'
After a turbulent season the Rangers keeper started this campaign off in top form against Panathinaikos Jack Butland has lifted the lid on his Rangers reset - and how he had to remind himself over the summer that he's a top goalkeeper. The Ibrox number one got the new campaign off to a flier with three crucial saves in Tuesday's Champions League qualifying win over Panathinaikos to put Gers in the driving seat ahead of Wednesday's second leg. It was an impressive return to form after a turbulent campaign that saw the former England international dropped following a series of high profile errors. Question marks hung over the 32-year-old's position under new boss Russell Martin. But he produced the answers in a man of the match display that has kept Rangers' £40million Champions League dream on course. And Butland said: 'I feel really refreshed, feel good, feel really positive about the season ahead. 'I had a really good summer, a lot of time to think about stuff, work on stuff, just to remind myself that I'm a good goalkeeper. 'I believe that I'm a top goalkeeper. Sometimes you can forget that when things get tough and you start to overthink. 'But I'm feeling in a great place, really looking forward to the season. I was really happy to be able to help on Tuesday night.' Rangers might have a two goal lead heading to Greece but Butland has warned the tie is far from over. The former Manchester United, Stoke and Birmingham keeper expects a red hot atmosphere in the Athens Olympic Stadium with overhead temperatures to match. And he is prepared for an onslaught from Rui Vitoria's side as they look to claw themselves back into the tie and keep the £40m Champions League dream alive. He said: 'Yeah, they will and they need to. Like I said, a lot of the work we've done is off the ball as well. We're going to have to be on it, off the ball, press them into difficult areas and do what we need to do. 'We were in St George's a few weeks back, it wasn't quite 40 degrees but it was hot enough. 'You know, we're not far off our holidays so the boys have had some heat in recent weeks so it shouldn't be too much of a test and we're certainly not going to use that as a concern. 'It's going to be difficult for both sides. Of course, as we do, we travel over there, we take our fans with us and we try and make a difference.' Despite his turbulent season, Butland played a big role in Rangers' march to the quarter final of the Europa League last season with huge displays home and away against Fenerbahce. He knows what it takes to get results in hostile environments away from home. And he said: 'A lot of tactics go out the window. "You've got to play the game, you've got to use your experience, you've got to manage the game, you've got to take the sting out of it, you've got to know when to get the ball back and play quick and when to kill the game and play it smart. 'All of that's going to come into it because this is not a league format, this is a knockout. 'We know what this week means and what we need to do and it will be really important that we get a result there and get through this time.'

Collum backs goal-line technology and in-stadium VAR announcements
Scottish FA head of referees Willie Collum says he would fully back the introduction of goal-line technology in the Premiership – and revealed talks have taken place over officials making in-stadium VAR announcements. One of the most controversial refereeing decisions of last season came on the final day when a Rangers 'goal' against Hibernian was not allowed because officials couldn't determine whether the ball had fully crossed the line at Easter Road. The decision came after a similar call in a Celtic match against Hibernian, where a goal for the champions was ruled out because it was ruled by the match officials that the ball had gone out of play before Alistair Johnston crossed for Daizen Maeda to score. Collum admitted in his VAR review show that officials had effectively guessed and couldn't be 100% certain the ball was out when they made the call. In the wake of the Easter Road incident, Rangers had called for goal-line technology to be introduced in Scottish football and Collum said that while it would not aid in all controversial line calls, it would be a benefit to his referees. 'We would be very open to it,' the refereeing chief told STV. 'We understand the financial constraints because goal line technology is very, very expensive. 'People might look at it and ask how often you would use it because, for example, the Hibs v Celtic decision, it wouldn't have helped. 'Certainly the Hibs v Rangers decision, it would have helped because that's a goalmouth decision. 'What I wouldn't say is that because we don't have one aspect of technology that we'll make excuses or say that it's impossible to call things. 'We want to make sure, even in the situations we find ourselves in, that we're always striving for improvement and looking for ways to improve. 'Of course any kind of technology that we could bring in that would help us or improve us, in terms of refereeing, we would be open to it. 'Whether it be goal-line technology, in-stadium communication either leaving the monitor or when there's a check going on for the people attending the matches in person.' No price has been put on introducing the goal-line system in Scottish football, and Collum insists it's not for him to pressure the clubs who would have to pay for it. 'That would be a decision outwith refereeing,' he said. 'It's not a decision we would make. 'We, of course, get financial support for VAR from the clubs so that would be a decision they would have to make. 'We would be in favour of goalline technology but it's not for me to decide how any finances are spent.' While that advance may still be some time away, another innovation may arrive at Scottish grounds sooner than expected. In-stadium announcements, where the referee is connected to the stadium's speaker system to explain VAR calls to supporters, has already been introduced at the top level, with some games in the English League Cup being used for a trial. Collum revealed that talks have already taken place about bringing in the change to deliver a better experience for fans. 'We've had discussions with the clubs about that,' he said. 'We would be very keen for that. 'It's another element of transparency. 'Some of the difficulty with VAR is the in-stadium experience. We think that would certainly support it. If there was a long check going on, the referee would be able to communicate that, and they could indicate the decision when leaving the monitor. You see it at the Club World Cup and other competitions. 'I'm always looking for the best product here in Scotland and I would support that. 'It's not simple but we would embrace any technology that's for the benefit of the game, the benefit of the product here in Scotland and for match officials and people involved in football. 'There's a possibility it could be this coming season. If we get the support from the clubs financially we would be able to implement that. 'We would need a period of time to train but I'm not going to rule that out.' For the time being, Collum is looking forward to the new season, after taking time to explain rule changes and interpretations to SPFL clubs, players and staff in recent weeks. As well as talking Premiership stars through the interpretation of the rules, he said he had also been listening to feedback to ensure a better understanding of footballers' opinions and perspective on decisions, to get a better understanding for his match officials. Among the new things fans, players and referees will be getting to grips with in the new season are three changes to the game. 'Double-touch' penalties will now be retaken if the player scores, with an indirect free-kick awarded to the defending team if the penalty is missed or saved. If referees touch the ball, they will hand a drop ball to the team who would have received it, rather than only resuming the game with possession to the last team that played the ball as was previously the rule. In the biggest change, and one that is to be strictly enforced, referees will now award a corner kick to the opposing team if a goalkeeper handles the ball for more than eight seconds. Collum feels that can only speed up the game and eradicate time-wasting, and feels just the existence of the rule will achieve that without referees needing to act often. 'We think it will make the game much quicker because the goalkeepers now are under pressure to release a ball,' he said. 'We'll have prepared our referees tactically for that as well, forgetting just about the decision-making, the eight seconds and punishing it. We also know there will be a lot of shorter balls at times in and around the penalty area. We need our referees to be well prepared for that. 'But, it's like any rule change, the clubs are aware of it. We've spoken to a lot of goalkeeper coaches who are saying they've already been coaching it, working at it. So, we don't think we'll see a great amount of issues with that.'
