He then won his first cap for Armenia by starting the latter game, on 28 March 2023 in the process, Ranos also scored his first two international goals, as the friendly eventually ended in a 2–2 draw.[10] Ranos' first competitive start was a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match versus Wales on 16 June 2023.
