Rangers reach Findlay Curtis agreement as three more players next to face Ibrox exits
Rangers have agreed to send Findlay Curtis on loan to Kilmarnock for the rest of the season.
Kilmarnock’s new manager Neil McCann has been in talks to sign Curtis on a temporary basis pretty much since his arrival at Rugby Park, with those discussions now reaching a positive conclusion for the ex-Gers winger.
Curtis is one of the most highly-rated young prospects at Ibrox, but his game time has been limited this season under both Russell Martin and Danny Rohl.
He’s played 18 times across all competitions, but those appearances have seen him play an average of just 27 minutes per match.
According to Rangers Review on Tuesday, Curtis now looks set to continue his development at Kilmarnock and earn the vital minutes needed to help reach his potential.
Rangers new signing causes an issue for Findlay Curtis
Curtis has had some impressive performances on the wing this season for Rangers.
Back in July, he scored in the Gers’ 2-0 win over Panathinaikos in Champions League qualifying, before netting a vital equaliser to avoid defeat against St Mirren on 24 August.
More recently, Curtis impressed in Rangers’ 5-0 Scottish Cup win over Annan Athletic, assisting one of the goals as he played the entire 90 minutes.
Findlay Curtis facts:
- Curtis was born in Balfron, Stirling on 9 June, 2006
- He joined Rangers’ academy aged six
- The winger made his first-team debut vs Fraserburgh in Scottish Cup last January
- This loan to Kilmarnock will be the first time he’s played for a club that isn’t Rangers
However, Andreas Skov Olsen has now joined Rangers from Wolfsburg, which isn’t exactly ideal news for the 19-year-old Ibrox wonderkid.
Skov Olsen has joined the Light Blues on an initial loan deal. However, at the end of the season, there’s an option to buy him permanently for £8.6million.
That means that there’s extra incentive for Rohl to play Skov Olsen as much as possible, to see if he’s good enough to warrant splashing that kind of cash on him in the summer transfer window.
Who else could leave Rangers after Curtis?
Rangers Review claims that Rangers aren’t finished there with their outgoings.
While Curtis and Lyall Cameron, who’s now at Aberdeen, will return from their loans in the summer, the same cannot be said about the list of outcasts who Rohl and co want to move on for good.
It is understood that the Gers want to offload Clinton Nsiala, Kieran Dowell and Joe Rothwell before the transfer window closes on 2 February.
Sheffield United have been linked with Rothwell, while there’s been recent speculation about Leicester being interested in Dowell.
Little, however, has been reported about Nsisala’s situation at Ibrox.
