Ross McCausland transfer latest as Rangers winger sees fight for his signature multiply
The Northern Ireland ace still has two years left to run on his contract and is keen to be part of Russell Martin's plans. Cardiff City is the latest club to register an interest in Rangers winger Ross McCausland. The Northern Ireland ace still has two years left to run on his Ibrox contract and is keen to be part of new gaffer Russell Martin's plans. But with Rangers in the market for wide players, several clubs are keeping tabs on McCausland's situation. English League one sides Cardiff and Plymouth Argyle, as well as MLS club FC Cincinnati, are all monitoring the 22-year-old in this transfer window. While Belgian side OH Leuven and Swiss outfit Basel also have McCausland on their radar. Record Sport understands he'd prefer to stay at his boyhood club but with a squad overhaul on the cards at Ibrox, Martin could listen to offers for the youngster who made 25 appearances for Rangers last term. McCausland moved to Ibrox in 2019 from Linfield and was given first-team opportunities by ex-gaffer Philippe Clement. He scored in the club's 2-0 Europa League win over Malmo last season but failed to nail down a regular starting slot. New boss Martin is still assessing his squad and potential targets, alongside Ibrox sporting director Kevin Thelwell. He's keen to land Leicester City defender Conor Coady to bolster his backline and have already made contact with the Foxes.

Awesome quartet of awards over at Connah's Quay Nomads
The club secured four prizes in the FAW National League Awards, which took place in Cardiff. In the Adran North section, Nomads' unbeaten season was recognised by three awards. Jordan Parry was named as the league's manager of the season, while there was double joy for Polly Wild-McGregor. The Connah's Quay skipper, who scored 21 goals from midfield, made it a season to remember by winning the Adran North player of the season and young player of the campaign accolades. Added to this, there was also success for the club in the men's awards. Former Wales U21 international Rhys Hughes was the standout performer for Connah's Quay Nomads over the course of the campaign and his impressive displays earned him the Cymru Premier player of the season award. Hughes joined the Nomads from Tranmere Rovers last summer and he featured in every league fixture. He scored 15 goals for Connah's Quay and Hughes also helped Nomads to reach the final of the Welsh Cup for the second consecutive season, where they were pipped 2-1 by league champions The New Saints. Former Wrexham striker Louis Lloyd, the league's joint-top goalscorer, claimed the young player of the season accolade and The New Saints' Craig Harrison was named as the manager of the season. Wrexham duo Abbie Iddenden and Lili Jones missed out on Adran Premier awards. Iddenden, who scored nine goals and supplied nine assists as the Reds finished the season in fourth place, was a nominee for player of the season, which went to Cardiff City's Shannon Evans. Midfielder Jones, who finished joint-third in the assists chart with seven, lost out to Cardiff's Fiona Barry for the young player prize. Rhys James, of Briton Ferry Llansawel, took the manager of the season nod. Iddenden and Jones were named in the league's team of the season, while a special recognition award went the way of Cheryl Foster. Earlier this year, Foster brought the curtain down on a playing and refereeing career that broke down boundaries and made history in both the Welsh domestic game and on the international stage. Now overseeing refereeing pathways with the English FA, Foster's achievements were celebrated with this award. Four Nomads players - Molly France, Wild-McGregor, Evie Chard and Ella Jones - were included in the Adran North team of the season. Also in the line-up is Flint's Taylia Chaloner. Airbus were acknowledged in the Cymru North awards, with Kaiden Cooke being named as young player of the season. The teenager scored seven goals in 28 games for the Wingmakers to establish himself as an important part of Mark Allen's side. Striker Danny Warren picked up the Cymru North top scorer award, while Colwyn Bay chief Michael Wilde claimed the manager of the season accolade and the player of the season nod went to Seagulls' captain Sam Hart. Three Airbus players - Jordan Evans, Warren and George Peers - are included in the Cymru North team of the season. They are joined by Buckley Town's Adam Smith and Holywell Town's Jamie Breese.

Former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey 'close to surprise move to Mexican side instead of taking Cardiff managerial role full-time'
Former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey has reportedly agreed a deal to sign for Mexican side Club Universidad Nacional. The 34-year-old was appointed caretaker manager of Cardiff for the final three games of the season. He was tasked him with saving them from relegation after sacking Omer Riza but two draws and a defeat saw them drop down. Ramsey's playing contract with the club expires at the end of the month and Cardiff have dithered over whether to offer him the managerial role on a full-time basis. And any hopes of that happening are seemingly over with PA reporting that he is set to sign with the Pumas. Ramsey took on coaching duties in Cardiff's academy since rejoining for his second spell. The 34-year-old was appointed caretaker manager of Cardiff for the final games of the season He played for Arsenal between 2009 and 2019, making 369 appearances and scoring 64 goals.
