- Findlay Curtis expected to stay at Rangers this summer and join Danny Rohl’s first-team plans.
- No loan or permanent move planned despite reported interest from Wrexham and Middlesbrough.
- January review set as key checkpoint for his long-term development decision.
Findlay Curtis is expected to remain at Rangers this summer and be given a first-team opportunity under Danny Rohl, with any decision on his long-term development set to be revisited in January.
Despite speculation linking the winger with moves to Wrexham and Middlesbrough, the current expectation is that Curtis will not leave Ibrox permanently and will not even depart on loan at this stage.
Rangers instead plan to assess him more closely within the senior squad environment.
Findlay Curtis stars during Kilmarnock loan spell
Curtis’ breakthrough campaign at Kilmarnock last season.
The 19-year-old netting five goals in 14 appearances and a key role in Neil McCann’s side securing Premiership survival.
This has significantly strengthened his case for involvement at Ibrox rather than another temporary exit.
Speaking previously to The Rangers Review, Curtis reflected on the decision to leave on loan last season.
Making a move he believes was crucial to his development.
“I actually pushed for a loan,” he said.
“I spoke with the manager after the Porto game and he was just saying that he would love me to stay here, but he can’t guarantee me the minutes.”
That loan spell provided sustained senior exposure, something Curtis believes cannot be replicated in youth football or fragmented first-team minutes.
“I just love playing football,” he said.
“As a young kid, you want to go out and express yourself against older boys and more serious people and play in the best league you can.”
Now, however, the pathway appears to have shifted.
Findlay Curtis set for Danny Rohl chance
Rather than another temporary move away, Curtis is expected to be integrated into Rohl’s plans during pre-season.
Where he will be assessed within a more competitive Ibrox environment as the German begins his rebuild.
The approach reflects a growing internal belief at Rangers that some academy graduates, once they have completed an effective Premiership loan, should be tested directly at first-team level before any further decisions are made.
Curtis’ rise from academy prospect to Premiership contributor and international World Cup squad member, has already been used internally as a benchmark for development success.
“If I had stayed at Rangers, I don’t think I would have ever got that call-up,” he admitted following his Scotland breakthrough.

While external interest from England has been reported, Rangers current stance is clear.
Curtis remains part of Rangers’ immediate plans.
With his progress to be monitored closely over the first half of the season.
The January window is expected to act as a natural checkpoint. If first-team opportunities prove limited once again, a loan reassessment could return to the table.
For now, however, Rangers appear intent on keeping one of their most promising academy graduates firmly in-house.
