Career
McAusland has previously played for Rangers, Dunfermline Athletic, whilst also having spent time on loan with Ayr United and Brechin City. McAusland, from Cumnock, East Ayrshire, joined Rangers aged thirteen in 2006. At that time he played as a striker and during his spell in the youth teams played in a variety of positions before settling as a right back.
McAusland was loaned to Ayr United for the first part of the 2012-2013 season and signed a new contract with Rangers in February 2013, through to the summer of 2015.
A few months later he made his competitive Rangers debut in a Challenge Cup at right back on 27 July against Albion Rovers. McAusland went on to make a further six appearances for Rangers (five of which were starts) before losing his place in the side after the signing of the experienced Richard Foster.
In October 2013, McAusland re-joined Ayr United for the rest of the 2013-2014 season after requesting more first-team football. In January 2015, after return from his loan spell, McAusland had his contract terminated with Rangers in order for him to join Dunfermline Athletic.
On the 22 June 2015 Alloa Athletic announced the signing of McAusland.
