Findlay Kenneth Curtis (born 9 June 2006) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Kilmarnock, on loan from Rangers, and the Scotland national team.[4]
Curtis joined Rangers' academy at age 6, having impressed at a football school run by the club.[2] In July 2022, he signed his first professional contract and was promoted to Rangers' under-18 team.[5] His deal was extended in January 2023 to last until June 2024.[6] On 1 May 2024 he scored a penalty kick to equalise as Rangers came from behind to win the Scottish Youth Cup against Aberdeen at Hampden Park.[7] On 28 May 2024, Curtis signed a further extension until 2025.[8]

He came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute and assisted the last goal, completing Cyriel Dessers' hat-trick.[10][11] Four days later he made his European debut in the UEFA Europa League league phase, again from the bench for the final half-hour of a 2–1 loss away to Manchester United; according to Ewan Paton of The National, he gave a good performance in "difficult circumstances".[12]
On 29 January 2025, Curtis signed a contract extension of undisclosed length.[13] Eighteen days later, he made his Scottish Premiership debut in the last minute of a 3–1 win away to Heart of Midlothian.[14]
