Rangers' emerging star Findlay Curtis has credited legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson for his recent heroics in European competition. The young midfielder, who became an instant fan favourite after a match-winning display, revealed how a few kind words from the Manchester United icon gave him the confidence to shine on the big stage.
Curtis, who scored a crucial goal in Rangers' latest European fixture, described the moment he received encouragement from Sir Alex as "a treasure" that he'll carry with him throughout his career. "Hearing praise from someone of his stature was surreal," Curtis admitted. "It's the kind of motivation that stays with you."
The Ferguson Factor
The 20-year-old explained how Ferguson's advice about composure under pressure helped him deliver when it mattered most. "He told me to trust my instincts and play with freedom," Curtis recalled. "Those simple words made all the difference when I found myself in front of goal."
From Academy to European Nights
Curtis' rapid rise from Rangers' youth setup to becoming a European match-winner has captured the imagination of the Ibrox faithful. His technical ability and mature performances belie his young age, suggesting the Scottish giants may have uncovered another gem.
With Rangers progressing in European competition and Curtis establishing himself as one to watch, the future looks bright for both player and club. As for that Ferguson advice? "I'll be keeping that close to my heart," the young star promised, "and hopefully there's many more special nights to come."
