Rangers have a number of players out on loan across the Men’s, Women’s, and Academy sides at present, and here’s our review of how each of those in action fared over the weekend of March 21–22, 2026.
Men’s Loans: International Recognition and Domestic Impact
The headlines this week belong to Findlay Curtis, whose exceptional form at Kilmarnock has culminated in a maiden call-up to Steve Clarke’s senior Scotland squad. Before heading off to the international camp, the 19-year-old winger marked the occasion by netting his first goal for Killie in a 2-0 victory over Livingston. Curtis showed great predatory instinct to slot home a delivery across the face of goal, doubling his side’s advantage and further justifying the hype surrounding his development in Ayrshire.
In the Scottish Premiership, Lyall Cameron was a notable absentee for Aberdeen as they traveled to Ibrox. Under the terms of his loan agreement, the midfielder was ineligible to face his parent club as Rangers secured a clinical 4-1 victory.
Further afield, Jose Cifuentes enjoyed a standout weekend in Major League Soccer. The midfielder scored his first goal for Toronto FC, a crucial strike that helped secure a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew. Cifuentes has quickly become a mainstay in the Canadian side’s engine room since arriving earlier this year. Meanwhile, in Cyprus, Ross McCausland was an unused substitute for Aris Limassol in their 2-2 draw with Omonia Nicosia, while Clinton Nsiala missed Westerlo’s action in Belgium due to suspension.
Academy Watch: Goals and Milestones
The Rangers Academy continues to see its prospects thrive in the lower leagues, with Paul Nsio putting in a “Man of the Match” performance for Raith Rovers. Nsio was instrumental as Raith came from behind to defeat Airdrieonians at Stark’s Park, showcasing the drive and technical ability that has made him a fan favorite in Kirkcaldy.
At Alloa Athletic, the “Gers contingent” remains heavily involved. Callum Burnside continued his productive season by providing the assist for the Wasps’ opening goal in a 1-1 draw with Inverness. Burnside’s delivery from a corner was inch-perfect, taking his season tally to nine goals and three assists—form that has earned him a first call-up to the Northern Ireland Under-21 squad. He was joined in the starting lineup by Calum Adamson, who once again put in a disciplined shift in midfield.
Other Academy highlights included:
* Leon King (Ayr United): Continued his run of 90-minute appearances, providing defensive stability in the Championship.
* Alexander Smith (Dumbarton): Maintained his place in the starting XI and received his first Scotland U19 call-up following a string of impressive displays.
* Jack Wyllie (Kelty Hearts): Made a welcome return to action, appearing as a second-half substitute in a tough defeat to Stenhousemuir.
Women’s Loans: Vital Minutes
In the women’s game, Rangers prospects are gaining essential experience across the SWPL. Mia McArthur and Lily Boyce both featured for Motherwell as they continue their fight for points in a competitive mid-table battle. McArthur, in particular, has been praised for her consistency, having started nearly every match since her temporary switch.
At Gartcairn, Rebecca Simpson and Alba Stewart were involved in league action, with Simpson coming off the bench to shore up the defense in a narrow contest. These spells away from Broadwood are proving vital as the club looks to bridge the gap between the Academy and the first-team squad.
