Done Deal: Rangers finalise terms to sign new Ross McCausland 2.0 immediately completing Arian Allen deal

Rangers were quite busy in the January transfer window, with Philippe Clement adding to his team ahead of a crucial second half of the season.

Oscar Cortes, Fabio Silva, and Mohamed Diomande all joined Ibrox on loan.

And it appears that the club’s academy is aligned with the first team, as forward Arian Allen recently signed from Everton [official Rangers website, 19 February].

The club said that the 16-year-old, who can play across the frontline, has joined Steven Smith’s Under-18s.

And he is likely to stay at Ibrox for the long haul, with the Glasgow World reporting on Tuesday (20 February) that Allen has signed a four-year contract following his transfer from Merseyside.

And, if recent history is any indication, the youngster, like his fellow forward Ross McCausland, should have a promising future straight away.

In a short period of time, the latter has established himself as a regular under Clement, while the academy graduate has also impressed on the international scene for Northern Ireland.

The attacker is also set to stay in Glasgow for the long future, having signed a new contract until the summer of 2027 in November.

The 20-year-old has excelled during his brief spell in professional football, and Rangers are hopeful that Allen will follow the same path from academy to first team as fast as possible.

However, there will be no rush with the 16-year-old, as his minutes need to be handled carefully at this important stage of his career.
