Alright, let me paint the picture for you. It's 2026, and over at Ibrox, the injury bug just won't let go. We've just gotten the news that our winger, Oliver Antman, is set for a two-month spell on the sidelines with a leg injury. Ouch, talk about bad timing. The 24-year-old Finn joins a growing treatment table that already includes key defenders like Derek Cornelius and John Souttar. You can almost see the headache forming for our gaffer, Danny Rohl. It's a proper dilemma, isn't it? Just when you think you've got a squad sorted, football throws you another curveball.

Now, the manager has a couple of paths he can take. The January transfer window is looming, and everyone's whispering about potential new signings to plug the gap on the wing. But, and here's the thing, sometimes the answer isn't out there in the market—it's right under your nose, in your own backyard. Rohl might just turn to an in-house solution to get us through this patch. And let me tell you, there's one name that keeps popping up in conversations among the fans: Findlay Curtis.
This kid... he's been knocking on the door for a while. Remember his first-team debut last season? He's not looked back since, firmly embedding himself in the squad and, honestly, grabbing every chance he's been given this campaign with both hands. We're talking about a highly-rated 19-year-old who's already bagged three goals in just 12 appearances across all competitions. And get this—only two of those were starts! The numbers speak for themselves, don't they?
| Player | Age | Appearances (2025/26) | Goals | Starts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Findlay Curtis | 19 | 12 | 3 | 2 |
| Oliver Antman | 24 | (Injured) | - | - |
Here's the real kicker: Curtis is yet to start a single Premiership game for us. With the team sometimes struggling to find that final bit of creativity and goals in the attacking third... well, it feels like a no-brainer to many of us. Would it really be a surprise to see his name on the team sheet soon? I don't think so.

Danny Rohl has never been afraid to rotate his wingers since he took charge. Just look at the weekend's goalless draw with Falkirk—Antman and Nedim Bajrami got the nod from the start. Curtis? He came off the bench for the final 15 minutes. It was only his fifth league appearance this season, and in that game, we dropped points under Rohl for the first time in the league. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? What if...
The questions about his playing time aren't just coming from the stands. After our 1-1 draw with Braga in the Europa League last week, Rohl was asked point-blank in his press conference: Why hasn't Findlay Curtis featured more? The gaffer's response was telling. He pointed to the youngster's recent injury niggles as the main reason for his limited minutes. But then he followed it up with a promise, a vote of confidence. He stressed that Curtis 'will get his chance' if he keeps his head down and works hard. That's the key, isn't it? Patience and persistence.
Let's break down his season so far:
-
Total Appearances: 12
-
Total Minutes: A mere 260
-
Key Fact: Hasn't started a game since Rohl replaced Russell Martin last month.
It's a frustrating stat for such a talented player. But sometimes, an injury crisis for one player is the golden ticket for another. This could be the moment for Findlay Curtis. The 'brilliant' 19-year-old, as he's been described, now has a clear pathway. With Antman out, the right-wing spot is there for the taking. It's up to him to show in training that he's not just a prospect for the future, but a solution for the present.

So, what's next for Rangers? We wait. We see how the gaffer lines up his team. Does he stick with the more experienced heads, or does he finally unleash the young talent who's been simmering on the bench? The next few games could define a season, and maybe even a career. For Findlay Curtis, the stage is set. The opportunity is staring him right in the face. Now, it's all about seizing it. The Ibrox faithful are ready to roar him on. Sometimes, you've just got to throw the kid in at the deep end and see if he can swim. My bet? He'll not just swim; he'll fly down that wing.
It's a strange old game, football. One man's misfortune opens the door for another's dream. Let's see if this is the beginning of the Findlay Curtis era at Rangers.
