Calum Adamson could get SPFL chance already as Rangers youngster expected for loan exit
Calum Adamson is one of Rangers' most highly-rated youngsters, and the club have big plans for him moving forward.
The 18-year-old enjoyed an impressive loan spell with Alloa Athletic last season, making 31 appearances and grabbing seven goal involvements.
Adamson is an all-action midfielder who can produce great moments at either end of the pitch and is one of Auchenhowie's top talents.
The Scotland U19 star has attracted interest from the likes of Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, but appears keen to do well at Ibrox.
The box-to-box midfielder signed a contract extension with the Gers last summer, and the club hopes to keep him on their books for many years yet.
After an eye-catching debut season in the professional game with Alloa last campaign, he could be ready for the next step.
Calum Adamson tipped for another loan move
Adamson is one of several youngsters who could have a chance of impressing Derek McInnes in pre-season.
The teenager has already featured in first-team training before, and a new manager could offer him fresh hope of an early Ibrox breakthrough.
However, the Rangers Review has reported that Adamson is expected to be sent out on loan once more next season.
This comes after his success with Alloa, but it is suggested that he could get a move to a Scottish Premiership club already.
After previous worries about him possibly leaving, Rangers could set out a clear pathway for him to develop and become a future first-team regular under McInnes.
Who else could join Adamson on loan?
Findlay Curtis proved that sometimes the best course of action is taking a step away from Glasgow, as his loan move to Kilmarnock proved last season.
Adamson would be stepping up a level if he gets a move to a Scottish Premiership club, and it would act as a sink-or-swim moment.
The teenager could be joined by fellow Auchenhowie buddies in Aiden McCallion, Ashton Scally and Rydnn McGuire, who all need first-team experiences, whether that be in the Scottish Premiership or Championship.
Rangers have a talented academy, and they are trying to improve their ways of handling their young gems moving forward.
McInnes has already hinted that he will pay close attention to the development of youngsters, which is what is needed by a Rangers manager.
