Findlay Curtis’ Rangers contract must be 49ers next focus at Ibrox after Scotland call-up
Findlay Curtis’ contract must be the 49ers Enterprises group’s new priority at Rangers.
Curtis is one of the most promising talents to emerge from the Ibrox side’s academy in recent years, and is currently on loan at Kilmarnock.
The 19-year-old has been called up to Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad and could make his debut in the friendlies with Japan and the Ivory Coast.
If he does, it could leave Rangers in a dangerous position when it comes to his future with the Govan club.

The latest breaking news on signings, departures, and Danny Röhl’s primary targets.
Why could Curtis’ call-up be bad news for Rangers?
Curtis’ call-up to the national team could spell trouble for Rangers, as it will likely lead to more eyes on him and potentially draw suitors who want to poach him away.
He signed a contract extension in January 2025, which is set to keep him in Glasgow until 2027 at the very least.
| Curtis’ advanced stats this season (Scottish Premiership) | Rangers and Kilmarnock |
| Goals | 2 |
| Assists | 1 |
| Expected goals | 2.06 |
| Chances created | 13 |
| Big chances created | 4 |
| Minutes played | 672 |
The national team recognition makes getting him a new deal even more important, as it would then be harder for clubs to poach him away from the Gers.
The 49ers need to act fast, here’s why
Rangers have already seen several youth prospects stolen away by Premier League clubs in recent years, and they will be keen to avoid the same happening with Curtis, the shining light of their youth setup.
Chris Condy looks set to join Brighton in the summer, despite only signing for the Light Blues last year from Hamilton Academical.
Newcastle United poached Oliver Goodbrand and Alfie Hutchison from the Bears’ academy in July 2025, so there is precedent.
The Gers must do all that they can to keep hold of Curtis, as he has already shown that he has the qualities to thrive for Danny Rohl’s side.
He has three goals and three assists in 26 matches for the senior side, including a stunning strike in the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos in July.
The winger has added a goal and an assist to his tally in seven appearances in his loan spell at Rugby Park under Neil McCann.
The ownership must make a statement and ensure that the youngster remains at the club, rather than being tempted to move elsewhere and not sign fresh terms.
