Rangers prospect to prepare for another loan switch as Premiership duo express 'keen' interest
The midfielder was on loan at Alloa Athletic last season
Rangers prodigy Callum Adamson is reportedly being pursued by Kilmarnock and St Mirren as both Premiership clubs hope to secure him on a loan deal next season.
The 18-year old impressed at Alloa Athletic last campaign in Scottish League One, where he notched four goals and recorded three assists. As he now returns to Ibrox, the natural progression would now be for him to go to a Premiership or Championship club next season, if manager Danny Rohl still feels he isn’t ready for the first team.
EFL League Two’s Swindon Town have reportedly also shown interest in the youngster, who is yet to make a competitive appearances for Rangers, but has been named on the bench on several occasions for European games. His contract extension last year will keep him at the the club until the summer of 2027.
Premiership rivals ‘keen’ on Rangers prodigy
According to the Daily Record: “Kilmarnock and St Mirren are both keen on a loan for Rangers youngster Calum Adamson. The young midfielder impressed with Alloa Athletic last season. The Premiership pair, along with English League Two side Swindon Town are interested in taking him on loan for the new campaign.”
Kilmarnock may have a leg up on their competitors with manager Neil McCann and his number two Billy Dodds having already worked with Adamson when they were at Rangers under Barry Ferguson. The success of Findlay Curtis’ short-term Killie move may also play on the mind of Adamson. The Rangers winger was picked for Steve Clarke’s Scotland World Cup squad after an impressive spell at Rugby Park.
Paving the way
Rohl has put emphasis on clearing the pathway from the academy to the first team and has done this by offering Gers wonder-kids Kyle Glasgow and Ashton Scally professional contracts despite interest from English Premier League giants. Fellow Ibrox prodigy Zebedee Lawson was given his first minutes for the club earlier in the season.
Adamson isn’t the only young Rangers star who went to the Wasps last season. Winger Lewis Stewart and striker Josh Gentles were also part of the co-operation deal, while wide man Callum Burnside also plied his trade at Recreation Park for a year, but was part of a separate agreement.
Elsewhere, Rohl will have to decide what to do with Paul Nsio after his successful Raith Rovers loan spell. The 20-year old helped Rovers lift the KDM Evolution Trophy last year and won their Young Player of the Year award. He has also been touted for a short term move to Rugby Park.
