# Calum Adamson validates Rangers loan plan with three assists

Rangers academy graduate Calum Adamson secured three assists for Raith Rovers in a 4-0 Scottish Championship triumph over Arbroath on Saturday.

The 19-year-old Scotland Under-19 international controlled proceedings at Stark’s Park, creating two early goals before assisting a third following an opposition red card. Adamson featured during Rangers’ pre-season preparations under Derek McInnes, deploying a physical style that addresses the club’s future box-to-box midfield requirements.

## Addressing Future Midfield Demands

The 6ft 1in prospect made over 30 appearances across all competitions at Alloa Athletic last season before securing this targeted second-tier assignment. His transition to the Championship follows a successful loan stint at the Fife club by fellow Rangers youth product Paul Nsio.

While McInnes relies on [immediate attacking options](https://readrangers.com/2026/09/12/derek-mcinnes-backs-bojan-miovski-to-lead-depleted-rangers-attack) to navigate current squad constraints and manages an ongoing [defensive squad overhaul](https://readrangers.com/2026/09/08/derek-mcinnes-confirms-john-souttar-rangers-exit-plans-despite-mounting-squad-in), Adamson is rapidly developing his senior credentials away from Ibrox.

Speaking to [rydc.co.uk](https://www.rydc.co.uk/adamson-joins-raith) upon his arrival, Adamson highlighted his specific tactical objectives.

“I’m one of those players that feels like I’ve got both sides of the game. I enjoy the physical side of it and, if you lose the ball, have those reactions and tackles,” he said.

“This year, I want to add goals and assists,” he added.

A sustained run of minutes under Dougie Imrie will dictate whether Rangers initiate a January recall conversation. Rangers next visit Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday 20 September.
