Wrexham are pursuing Findlay Curtis after the Rangers winger impressed during his loan spell at Kilmarnock this season.

The 19-year-old scored five Premiership goals and contributed one assist in his time at Rugby Park, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young talents in Scottish football.

Curtis has since dominated headlines after earning a place in Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, in what is a remarkable achievement for a teenager who only made his senior international debut in March.

Which area should Rangers prioritise on strengthening this summer? 🤔

Wrexham face Rangers resistance over Findlay Curtis transfer

According to TEAMtalk, Wrexham are monitoring Curtis ahead of the summer transfer window, along with Middlesbrough, who are still pushing for Premier League promotion amid the ‘spygate’ controversy.

Wrexham, backed by the ambition and financial firepower of co-owner Ryan Reynolds, are keen to go one step further in the Championship after finishing seventh this season and earn promotion next year.

At the Welsh club, Curtis would be joining an exciting project, with Premier League football looking realistic in the near future.

However, Rangers are ready to issue a firm hands-off message to every interested party, meaning Wrexham already have their answer.

Under the 49ers Enterprises, the Govan club are prioritising nurturing homegrown Scottish talent, and Curtis is exactly the kind of player that philosophy is built around.

It is worth noting that apart from Wrexham and Middlesbrough, Serie A clubs Bologna and Udinese have regularly scouted the teenager.

While it will be tempting to cash in on Curtis while stocks are high, selling him now would be a significant misstep regardless of the fee on offer.

Reynolds has notably turned Wrexham into one of football’s most compelling projects, but the answer to any Curtis enquiry will be the same as it is for everyone else. He is not for sale.

The bigger picture at Ibrox

Curtis heading to the World Cup this summer will only increase his profile and market value.

Every game he plays on the big stage in North America is essentially a free audition in front of a global audience, with Rangers’ name attached.

When he returns, the expectation should be straightforward – give him a proper chance in the first team.

The Ibrox outfit have already seen what happens when academy talent is allowed to leave Auchenhowie without being given a genuine opportunity, and cannot afford to repeat that mistake with a player of Curtis’s calibre.

Suitors will keep coming, but Rangers must keep saying no.
