If a recent update from the Scottish transfer expert Pete O’Rourke is believed to be true, Rangers teenager Calum Adamson is drawing the attention of several Premier League and Championship clubs. He is enjoying a productive loan spell with Alloa Athletic in the second tier of Scottish football, and the Gers are keen to promote him into the first team next season, fending off interest from fellow suitors.
The 18-year-old Scotland youth international progressed through the Gers’ academy ranks and was also an unused substitute in their Europa League and Premiership fixtures. He was loaned out to Alloa for senior minutes, and his presence in the centre of the pitch has been crucial, as the Wasps are eyeing a return to the Championship. They have defeated Airdrieonians in the playoff semifinal, and the youngster has so far netted three goals and provided five assists in 29 appearances, including a late winner against the Diamonds in the return leg fixture.
Why Rangers Should Convince Him To Stay
While the focus is now on their two-leg contest with Stenhousemuir in the final, Rangers need to sort out Adamson’s contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2027. The offers from south of the border must be fascinating for the midfielder, but the prospect of first-team football might convince him to pen an extension beyond next year.
The Gers revived their season under Danny Rohl, overcoming the nightmare run of Russell Martin’s regime. But they fell short in the title race following back-to-back defeats against Motherwell and Hearts. It remains to be seen whether the German boss will still be in charge amid links to the Bundesliga; however, a lot of work needs to be done behind the scenes to boost their title hopes.
Why Adamson Should Stay At Rangers
Rangers brought in Tochi Chukwuani earlier this year to bolster themselves in the middle of the park. Fringe names like Kieran Dowell and Joe Rothwell were offloaded, yet they look well-equipped, with Nicolas Raskin, Mohamed Diomande, and Connor Barron challenging each other for the central midfield spots.
Meanwhile, the Light Blues are sweating over Bailey Rice’s future, as several European clubs are pursuing the teenage midfield ace, who will be a free agent next month. The Scotsman missed the season with a muscle injury, and his likely exit would pave the way for Adamson to settle for a bit-part role before staking a claim in the manager’s plans. A loan deal to the Premiership could also be arranged for assured gametime, but they must not lose him at any cost, given the promises exhibited in League One.
