There was a post on Facebook that claimed Kilmarnock have already enquired about loaning Curtis for next season. He scored 5 goals and created one or two. So I don't blame them. He plays left-wing for them, yes?

I personally want to see Curtis playing for Rangers at left-wing. I would rather we play Curtis than bring Moore back for another loan in all honesty. Curtis shows more end product and looks like he could be a full international soon. If Moore comes back, do we just loan Curtis out again so he can get game time? He's too good to sit on our bench.

I've seen some people suggest Curtis could play on the right-wing but that's not where he plays his best football.

19 May 2026 07:00:53
He played on the right for them, am sure.

19 May 2026 07:14:38
Curtis has played, cm, lw, rw, rb for Kilmarnock, in a three man midfield the last game, used more as a rw though, Rohl.

19 May 2026 07:36:44
One of the main reasons for Curtis' loan is to learn and develop as a winger.

Personally, I think he needs another loan, but would prefer it to be abroad.

19 May 2026 07:54:06
I read that Curtis had played 5 different positions for Killie, and when he scored a brace the other week, he was shown on their team sheet as rb.

19 May 2026 08:10:33
Yes, he may need further development as EHL alludes to, but look at his adaptability. It's a gd asset to have. Could we further his development in the building?

19 May 2026 08:12:05
Scotty, could be 5. He started at rb that game, but when he scored a double, he wasn't rb.

19 May 2026 08:52:40
They are bound to want him, but should no way be allowed. Great loan now come back and now a nailed on starter.

19 May 2026 09:40:04
My star, now, the issue is, if Rohl played him in 5 positions, our fans would be "how can he excel getting played out of position".

19 May 2026 10:24:43
Was at the Livi Killie game on Sunday and he started wide right but found himself in the middle a lot of the game. Had a good game and think he could come back and do a job for us now.

19 May 2026 11:38:11
Should we loan players to clubs who restrict our support whilst leaving 1000's of seats empty, or loan players who end playing on a crap plastic pitch, whilst their supporters constantly have a dig at the "Glasgow 2", truly awful club run by morons, all they have achieved is having an award winning pie. Get Curtis back and play him.

19 May 2026 11:56:05
Won't be a plastic pitch next year.

19 May 2026 14:08:01
Agree, get him back. Being at the World Cup will create further development and I see no reason to loan again.

When does a project player become a squad player to first team regular. 🤷🏼

19 May 2026 18:36:33
I agree, EHL, I want him to become a key player for us, but I feel the way he and other exciting youth get there is by high quality loans and game time at a good level.

18 May 2026 23:30:06
If were going to make a statement of intent we should make a bid for Mikey Moore with a buy back option for spurs and also add ons.

18 May 2026 23:50:56
I'd rather we went for Ferguson.

19 May 2026 04:23:40
Why would Spurs want to sell one of their top youth prospects at a time when they are struggling badly, and are about to rebuild their squad?

I can see why Rangers want the player, but why would Spurs want to sell? They are a cash rich club. They don't need our transfer money and buyback clauses.



Also, Moore is earning £40k+ a week at Spurs from what I've read. If Rangers matched that, he would be the highest paid player in Scottish football. Would Moore take a paycut to come back here?

Also, if Moore did come back, where does that leave Findlay Curtis? Don't they both play in the same position?

19 May 2026 04:33:36
Rohl, all I'm seeing is his salary is around a quarter of a million a year.
5k weekly.

19 May 2026 04:34:18
Don't think his wage will be much of a concern right now.

19 May 2026 06:15:28
I like many of you guys on here would love to have Mikey Moore at Rangers on a permanent deal but I've already accepted there's next to no chance of that happening. ☹️ The best, I think, we all can hope for is another season long loan deal, and tbh I don't see much chance of that happening now also. ☹️ I think Spurs will either bring him back to them and have him in the first team squad, or will loan him out for a season in a better league than ours, like maybe for eg to Millwall in the English Championship, or a club at the top end of the English Championship, or even one of the newly promoted clubs to the English Premier League, like Coventry City (who were very interested in Moore before we got him on loan) or Ipswich Town etc.

🤔 ☹️

19 May 2026 07:34:10
I'm not taking us paying it, think his playing will be more important to Moore than his wage.

19 May 2026 07:46:30
We need to start bringing on more of our own players. The 3 kids at Falkirk on Saturday are League Winners, that is what we need, that sort of mentality, not spending millions on what transpired were mainly duds. We also need to ensure our fitness levels go up from now on.

Quite frankly, I thought our stamina etc was hellish in the season just finished. That also may mean replacing some of the backroom staff with better quality, I don't know. Curtis and Moore could play in the same team imo. Young Findlay showed his versatility at Kilmarnock.

19 May 2026 08:05:27
That has been our problem until now (hopefully). When we don't win the league, then everyone is considered to be a dud and we need to get rid of them. I say hopefully, as I now think that the club will stick with players who now have a season's experience of the demands. Add a few to improve us again and continue to grow as a team/squad/club. Just get rid of those OOC we don't want/need, sell those where clubs meet asking price, and we don't feel we want to keep for whatever reasons.



Backroom staff do what they're asked to do, so last year they were asked by Martin to condition the squad for his style. When we got rid of him, the team aren't conditioned to play any other way. So, we always seemed lacking in fitness. Pre-season will hopefully change this.

19 May 2026 08:11:18
Currently Tierney is on 50k a week as highest paid in SPL, and seen a couple places saying Oxlade Chamberlain on 55k a week. Some wage for a left back that plays 60-70 mins and a squad player midfielder.

19 May 2026 09:06:41
Chamberlain scored a few important goals that won them points, Gal77, so when look at it that way, was money well spent.

19 May 2026 11:30:12
Yea, definitely he got a couple winning goals which have been important for them. I was meaning more that 40k a week for Mikey Moore, who I think will only get better and better, is more value than the two I mentioned in my opinion.

19 May 2026 11:57:53
Think for 55k we would be looking for 30 plus goals per season.

19 May 2026 13:58:37
Just a thought, Finlay Curtis was playing right wing back quite a lot at Kilmarnock, and we are now needing that very position filled. Could there be a reason he was playing there? Could he be our Tav replacement?

Luke Graham, David Watson, and Elliot Watt. I would take all three of these players this summer.

I was all aboard the Elijah Just hype train. However, his stats raise concerns. His shot to goal ratio is just 9%, which isn't even close to being good enough.

Also, he averaged a goal every 386 mins. That's a goal every 4.2 games. We need a Maswanise or Nygren type that can get us 16+ goals a season from a wide area. The wide areas are badly lacking in end product, and I don't think Just solves that.

19 May 2026 05:42:21
Elliot Watt is a tremendous footballer, not fussed about Just.

19 May 2026 06:19:55
I'd take Elliot Watt, Dan Neil for our midfield and Luke Graham for left centre half. 👍 🇬🇧 I'd also love to be able to get Lewis Ferguson, but that I feel will be extremely difficult. 🤔 I also would like Kenny McLean for his experience and leadership within our squad, who knows the expectations of Glasgow Rangers and could handle it, as well as being able to handle playing in our league.

👍 🇬🇧

19 May 2026 07:32:25
He can also score from his own half. 👏🏻

19 May 2026 07:32:28
Should add.
Cammy Devlin.
Possibly Braga?

19 May 2026 07:37:38
Max Johnston must be some player if we want him twice, Stig. 😜

19 May 2026 09:46:28
Ideal midfield for me, going into next season, would be Lewis Ferguson with Kenny McLean and either Dahl or Anderson, having Chukwuani and Barron as back up. Maybe bring Watson in from Killie as back up/understudy to McLean.


Can't see Ferguson coming unfortunately, so hopefully club can bring in a number 6 with experience who can control the tempo and has a bit of dig about them.

19 May 2026 11:45:21
Going to need a bigger team bus!

19 May 2026 12:37:04
Nice Mph 😉👍
" That's a 20 footer, "
" 25. Three tons of bus".
🙄🤣

19 May 2026 13:30:43
Surely at least a couple of them will sign, you've named a full squad there.

18 May 2026 21:52:41
Pep leaving Man City this summer coincidence perhaps 🤣😂 lol.

18 May 2026 21:55:29
Do you mean he is going to Celtic? 😂 They don't have a manager and we do. 😉

18 May 2026 22:47:37
If Pep goes, it will either be back to Spain or PSG, I think.

18 May 2026 23:36:35
I'm surprised Sky Sports have put this up. They usually don't do that unless it's been confirmed, do they not? Or there's at least some solidity to it.

19 May 2026 06:19:31
Didn't think he'd have released this now.

19 May 2026 06:21:36
If Pep Guardiola does call time on his decade as Man City manager, I feel he'll take a year sabbatical before going into any new managerial challenge. 🤔

19 May 2026 14:44:42
He'll manage Spain and then retire.

18 May 2026 21:41:58
James Ward Prowse frozen out at West Ham and about to go into final year of contract and have his wages halved to £55k a week could be a good experienced player to bring in.
He would need to take a wage drop but at his age might favour European football and regular game time in favour of English Championship and with the loss of Tav a new free kick expert.


I'm sure West Ham would just be happy to get him off the wage bill if possible after loaning him to Burnley for 2nd half of season.
At 31 he still has plenty to offer and his wealth of experience in EPL would be welcomed in this squad.

18 May 2026 22:14:11
Wouldn't say no if for his set piece taking alone good experience he could be a good shout.

18 May 2026 22:33:50
Frozen out? He has been loaned out. Burnley may opt to buy him.

18 May 2026 21:33:24
Pep leaving Man City after Sunday. What a legacy he has built. Wonder where he will go next

18 May 2026 22:34:19
Think he will take time out, then become the next Spain manager.

18 May 2026 22:48:43
Could this mean Man City are about to get their points deduction lol.

18 May 2026 23:27:13
Probably court.

19 May 2026 06:22:36
Forever, shouldn't be any point reduction, should be sent to lower leagues, but we all know that will never happen.

19 May 2026 07:01:43
Away to commentate on the World Cup as being out of a job, he could end up skint soon. 👀👀👀😁
