Findlay Curtis (born 1 October 2006) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Rangers.[1]
Career
[edit]In July 2022, Curtis signed his first professional contract and was promoted to Rangers' under-18 team.[2] His deal was extended in January 2023 to last until June 2024.[3] On 1 May 2024 he scored a penalty kick to equalise as Rangers came from behind to win the Scottish Youth Cup against Aberdeen at Hampden Park.[4] On 28 May 2024, Curtis signed a further extension until 2025.[5]
Curtis was part of the Rangers B Team in the Scottish Challenge Cup. He scored twice in a 4–1 home win over Stenhousemuir on 22 October 2024, in the fourth round of the cup.[6]
On 19 January 2025, Curtis made his first-team debut in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, in a 5–0 win over Highland Football League club Fraserburgh. He came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute and assisted the last goal, completing Cyriel Dessers' hat-trick.[7][8] Four days later he made his European debut in the UEFA Europa League league phase, again from the bench for the final half-hour of a 2–1 loss away to Manchester United; according to Ewan Paton of The National, he gave a good performance in "difficult circumstances".[9]
On 29 January 2025, Curtis signed a contract extension of undisclosed length.[10]
