In 2012 Ruane's career came full circle when he was cast as Rhino in "The Angels' Share", another production directed by Ken Loach, written by Paul Laverty, produced by Rebecca O'Brien and set in the west of Scotland, in which he starred alongside a 'raw talent'—in this case Paul Brannigan—and which had positive feedback at Cannes (the 2012 festival). Another of the main cast members, Gary Maitland (also from Castlemilk), had featured in "Sweet Sixteen" and "Tickets" as well.
