Ross McCrorie

Ross McCrorie of Rangers was born in Dailly, Scotland on 18 March 1998 (age 28).

Ross McCrorie, born on 18 March 1998 (age 28), is a Scottish right-back with a career that has taken him through English Championship football and back into the Glasgow glare with Rangers.

His most productive league season came at Bristol City in 2024-25, when he scored five goals in 23 appearances. That was the clearest attacking return of his senior career, from a player more commonly framed by his running power and defensive utility than by end product.

At Rangers in 2026-27, wearing squad number 2, McCrorie has made three league appearances, along with one in the League Cup and one in the Europa League qualifiers. Across all competitions for Rangers that season, he has made five appearances.

McCrorie’s career to date is that of a steady Scottish professional: useful, experienced, and capable of covering demanding roles on the right side without needing to be dressed up as anything grander.

His career moved from Rangers with a July 2019 loan to Portsmouth and an August 2020 loan to Aberdeen before a permanent move to Aberdeen in February 2021; he transferred to Bristol City for 2000000 in July 2023 and returned to Rangers for 1500000 in July 2026, a path that involved early loan development followed by paid moves and a later repurchase by his original club.

Transfers combine development loans and fee moves: a July 2019 loan to Portsmouth and an August 2020 loan to Aberdeen preceded a February 2021 permanent sale to Aberdeen for 400000; Aberdeen sold him to Bristol City for 2000000 in July 2023 and Bristol City sold him back to Rangers for 1500000 in July 2026 – fees and a final return to Rangers underline continued market interest across those moves.
