Club career

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]

Curtis was part of the Rangers B Team in the Scottish Challenge Cup. He scored twice in a 4–1 home win over Stenhousemuir on 22 October 2024, in the fourth round of the cup. [9]

On 19 January 2025, Curtis made his first-team debut in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, in a 5–0 win over Highland Football League club Fraserburgh. 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]

On 22 July 2025, Curtis scored his first goal for Rangers in a UEFA Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos at Ibrox.

[16] His first league goal came on 24 August as the equaliser in a 1–1 draw away to St Mirren, as a substitute for Joe Rothwell. [17]

On 30 January 2026, having achieved three goals and two assists in 21 Rangers appearances, Curtis joined fellow Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on loan for the remainder of the season. [18]
