The reasons players are loaned out is because they’re not good enough. Only Allan McGregor from Rangers’ youth in the last 20 years was ever loaned out to then become a Rangers first team star.
Loans are because the manager doesn’t deem that player good enough. It’s as simple as 1,2,3.
We’re sure you can name another exception or two, but we’re struggling.
And in Findlay Curtis, the exception may be coming in – purely because Danny Rohl was wrong to loan him out.
Rangers ended up also-rans this season, and the shining Curtis was instead starring for Killie keeping them safe while Rohl preferred the atrocious Thelo Aasgaard.
And Curtis returns this summer to Ibrox, expected to play a much bigger role for the team next campaign.
Indeed, Curtis could just be the first one since McGregor to become a serious star for Rangers after being loaned out.
See, the ‘give him minutes’ angle is a load of tot. If he’s good enough he’ll get minutes at his present club.
Rohl, as usual, just got it wrong. And Curtis will return this summer to prove that.
Of course, he sparkled at Killie and got the fabled call-up to the world cup this summer.
Little proves someone’s rise to prominence and credentials more than a summer world cup call up.
But yes, he’s set to come back to Ibrox this summer, and prove his credentials weren’t just a flash in the pan.
But first he needs to win the world cup for Scotland, right?
