Rangers winger Findlay Curtis has been linked with a January move away from Ibrox after a season of severely limited opportunities under manager Derek McInnes. The 20-year-old has started only four Scottish Premiership games this campaign and has not featured in a single matchday squad since early September, a period spanning over two months.

Former Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness, who now runs a football consultancy, has detailed a five-month process that could see Curtis leave the club when the transfer window reopens. He added that the situation is a clear indicator of the player's likely departure, noting the club's stance appears settled.

However, he has found himself completely on the fringes this season. His last start came in a 2-0 win over St Johnstone on September 5, and he has not been involved as Rangers have built an unbeaten five-game run in the league, a sequence that includes four victories.

Raskin's future remains stable

While speculation surrounds Curtis, the future of midfielder Nicolas Raskin appears more settled despite entering a critical contractual phase. The 25-year-old Belgian's contract is set to enter its final six months in January, and clubs like Turkish side Besiktas have registered concrete interest in acquiring him.

Rangers, however, have no immediate concerns about losing Raskin during the winter window. The club's current position is that they are likely to agree to part ways with the player next summer, allowing him to see out the current campaign at Ibrox. This strategy is designed to provide stability in midfield as the team pursues its league objectives, avoiding a disruptive mid-season departure.

McInnes's side currently sit second in the Scottish Premiership standings with 24 points from 11 games, just four points behind leaders Celtic. Their recent form reads DWDWW, with the latest result a 2-2 draw away to Heart of Midlothian last weekend. Striker Kevin Kelsy and defender Olwethu Makhanya were on the scoresheet at Tynecastle, with attacker Ryan Naderi providing the assist for Makhanya's goal. Naderi remains the team's top scorer this season with five goals in all competitions.

The immediate focus now shifts to maintaining their strong league position, with the next fixture an away trip to face seventh-placed St Mirren on November 7. Any potential January business regarding out-of-favour players like Curtis will be assessed against the backdrop of this ongoing title challenge and the need to maintain squad harmony.
