The reality of life in Glasgow, though, proved to be far tougher than he had anticipated at first.

“It was hard coming over at 16,” he said at Auchenhowie yesterday as the Rangers Youth Development Company donated £400,000 to

the academy to take their total contribution since 2002 to over £11m. 

“I’ll never forget the first time I spent the night apart from my parents. It was challenging. You feel as though you’re incarcerated! It

felt as though I was incarcerated here. But it’s clear that you’re not.

When I got to kick a ball with the boys on my first day here, I was all right. I quickly got used to the coaches and all the amenities, and

I’ve been OK ever since. However, the first time wasn’t simple.

“There were two other boys from Northern Ireland who lived with me, Chris McKee and Lewis McKinnon,” McCausland continued. “I

stayed with a family.” Lewis is presently with Carrick, and Chris is at Linfield.

“I knew them because they were both from Linfield. I visit the family whenever I can because they only live around the corner from where I currently reside.

Perhaps it should come as no surprise that, after overcoming that experience as a youngster, McCausland has seemed, at least on the

surface, to have stepped up from the Rangers B squad into the first team so easily this season.

Since Philippe Clement took over as manager in October, the 20-year-old has made a name for himself as a consistent starter. He has

risen to the occasion and conquered every obstacle in his career, both on and off the field.

“It is challenging,” he remarked. Some folks are surprised by the actual size of the jump. However, I believe you should prepare

yourself for when the chance arises. In the end, you might not get another chance if you don’t take it.

Thus, all you have to do is seize the opportunity.

The winger has found it really helpful to be a part of the first team dressing room and to spend more time with seasoned pros like

James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Jack Butland, and John Lundstram.

“I signed my first team deal just a couple of months ago, and I moved into the first team dressing room,” he stated. It’s significant. I

knew the boys from playing a few games with them earlier. However, they were really kind when I was in the dressing room.

Seeing how they go about their daily lives, including what they do before, during,

and after training as well as what they eat for breakfast, is fantastic.

Moving a locker from one location to another may not seem like a huge concern to some, but in this case, it is. In the end, as a

childhood Rangers fan, I’m moving from a B team changing room into

a first team dressing room—something I always imagined.
