Queen of the South
In the summer of 2009, McAusland moved to Dumfries club Queen of the South, in the Scottish First Division. Shortly after making his competitive debut for Queens he was named in the squad for the Scotland under 21 training camp scheduled for 9–11 August 2009.
Return to Street Mirren
On 16 July 2010, McAusland returned to Street Mirren, signing a three-year contract. On 13 March 2013, Marc extended his contract by a further two years, taking him up to the end of season 2014-2015.
McAusland is a favourite within the Street Mirren support as he is a die-hard supporter of the club himself and was part of Street Mirren"s League Cup winning side in 2013.
With his contract due to expire at the end of season 2014-2015, McAusland agreed to leave the club by mutual consent on 15 April 2015. He made 187 appearances for the club in total, over two spells. Dunfermline Athletic
In September 2015 McAusland signed a one-year contract with Scottish League One side Dunfermline Athletic to bolster their squad, after injuries to defenders Callum Fordyce and Ryan Williamson left just four outright defenders fit.
His first match for Dunfermline came in a one-all draw with Airdrieonians at the end of September.
In total he made 15 appearances for the East End Park side before it was announced at the end of January 2016 that would be leaving the club, taking up an option in his contract which allowed him to be released early. His final match for the Pars was a league match against Cowdenbeath on 2 January 2016, in which he suffered a first-half injury and had to be replaced by Shaun Byrne.
Keflavík
In March 2016, McAusland signed a two-year deal with Icelandic side Keflavík.
