Callum Burnside joined Rangers' academy full-time in the summer of 2023
A County Antrim teenager has hailed the influence of fellow Northern Ireland man Ross McCausland as he continues his own fledgling Rangers career.
Burnside first linked up with the Gers as a 16-year-old, having impressed in a number of trials with the Old Firm giants including guest appearances at the SuperCupNI. The Ballymena teenager told the official Rangers website: “Ross used to always come round and speak to me about how I’m getting on and if I’m enjoying it. He always told me that I could speak to him if I had any problems and that he would always be around the club.
“I definitely would have struggled . You don’t tend to speak to everyone when you first come over and knowing I could speak to Blaine , Mason and Ross was good.Burnside says he takes inspiration from McCausland's rise through the ranks at Rangers.
