Findlay Curtis Scores in Kilmarnock's 4-1 Win at Livingston
findlay curtis scored in Kilmarnock’s 4-1 win at Livingston on Sunday, and he did it from the right side of a three-man midfield. The 19-year-old’s finish added another data point to a loan spell that has pushed him beyond the wing roles he has filled most often this season.
Livingston and the 3-1 finish
Curtis’s goal came from a low cross that he diverted across the box and into the far side of the net to make it 3-1. Kilmarnock had already built control of the match, and his strike removed any doubt about the result.
He has now posted five goals and one assist in 14 appearances for Kilmarnock this season. Most of those outings have come on the right or left wing, but he has also featured at right-back in the last few weeks.
Rangers and Danny Rohl
That spread of roles is the real value for Rangers. Danny Rohl has seen Curtis handle midfield work as well, giving the club another possible option for next season after a loan spell that has made him one of the more eye-catching young wingers in the Premiership.
There is still a decision point around his immediate future. Sources have exclusively revealed to Football Insider that Curtis could be sent out on loan again in the upcoming window, even as his form keeps him in the frame for a bigger role back at Rangers.
Steve Clarke and Scotland
Steve Clarke has also been watching Curtis closely. Clarke could name him in Scotland’s 26-man World Cup squad for the summer on Tuesday, 19 May, leaving the winger-midfielder with one more major squad call still to come.
Alan Hutton summed up the upward trend last week: “You look at the likes of Findlay Curtis and what he’s done, the goals, you can see him improving week-on-week.” He added, “He’s definitely got the quality.”
