Just think, 1st October 2006, here in bonnie Scotland, another baby boy takes his first breath, presumably with a burly, hirsute doctor muttering some obscenities under his breath, while a proud mother looks on. Who could have known that this average-sized lad, born to the mundane sounds of piped hospital music, would become a professional footballer? That boy was Findlay Curtis.
A grown-up Curtis, whom we'll assume had a fairly regular upbringing involving 'dogs and their sticks', now stands at a wholesome 5ft 10in (1.8m in those foreign measures), and tips the scales at a wiry 10st 5lb (or 66kg if you're that way inclined). He is a right winger, but one could be forgiven for not having heard his name ring out across the terraces of the biggest stadiums in the land because, quite hilariously, he dons the unusually high number 52 jersey for Kilmarnock. Perhaps they ran out of smaller numbers?
Apparently, some boffins over at Transfermarkt reckon he's worth around £643k, which is not too shabby considering he spends the majority of his time out on the wing, presumably making daisy chains.
As for his football career, it's somewhat juicy. Cutting his teeth at Rangers, no less, he joined the 'Gers in July 2021, bravely donning the trainee bib for what must have been some gruelling, character-building sessions. In his 2024 - 2025 Premiership season, he managed three first team appearances, presumably when the manager had exhausted all other possible choices. Oh, and in the current 2025 - 2026 season, Curtis, somehow, has managed even more time on the pitch, scoring a single goal to boot.
After being tossed around the Premiership, Curtis landed himself a stint at Kilmarnock in January 2026. Now, I know what you're thinking, is this the place where he'll truly find his glory, his home, his place in Scottish football folklore? Well, we're still holding our breath here, as in his current season he's made six first team appearances. Oh, the suspense is killing us, lad.
