Danny Rohl has to trust in Rangers gem Findlay Curtis after latest Scotland scenes
Danny Rohl has to have been paying attention to Rangers gem Findlay Curtis’ exploits with Scotland.
The German allowed the 19-year-old to leave on loan, and he joined Kilmarnock in the winter transfer window.
That form saw him brought into Steve Clarke’s squad for the World Cup, and he continued his stunning rise in the friendly with Curacao on 30 May.
The Gers sensation notched the equaliser in the clash at Hampden Park as the Tartan Army won 4-1., with new Ibrox star Lawrence Shankland scoring twice.
There will be a decision on his future when he returns from the tournament, and Rohl and Rangers have an obvious decision to make on Curtis.

Why Rohl has to put his faith in Curtis
Rohl has to place his trust in the Gers youngster after the latest international scenes, he can’t let him leave on loan again this summer.
Curtis’ development would be served best by staying put in Govan, rather than being sent to another club.
| Curtis’ stats vs Curacao | |
| Goals | 1 |
| Penalties won | 1 |
| Chances created | 1 |
| Touches in opposition box | 4 |
| Defensive contributions | 3 |
He needs to be given the chance to thrive under the pressure of the Ibrox crowd, as he has already proven that he can handle playing for the national team.
Why Curtis could help Rangers transfer plans
Rohl has handed debuts to the likes of Ashton Scally and Aiden McCallion previously, so he is willing to play youth players.
He needs to give Curtis a chance to cement a slot on the flanks, and it could solve a problem for the Light Blues in the transfer market.
If they can use their homegrown talent to replace Mikey Moore, who will return to Tottenham Hotspur after his loan spell in G51, it would leave more money for other positions of concern to be addressed.
The Bears still have plenty of work to do in the transfer market, to put the squad in a position to challenge Celtic and Hearts for the Scottish Premiership title.
Curtis could prove to be the edge that they need, especially given that Rohl and Andrew Cavenagh have already spoken about plans to build a Scottish core, that understand what it takes to play for the Gers.
The academy product is the perfect example of what they are looking for.
