Kilmarnock fans are in a state of euphoria as their Scottish Premiership strugglers continue to battle for survival. One man who has caught the attention of the fanbase is loanee midfielder Findlay Curtis, who has been instrumental in the team's recent performances. The 22-year-old has impressed with his energy, vision, and goal-scoring ability, earning himself a average rating of 6.5 out of 10 according to SofaScore.
Curtis' recent form has sparked speculation that he could be called up to the Scotland national team for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. This has raised concerns among Kilmarnock fans that his potential departure could impact the team's chances of avoiding relegation. With only a few games left in the season, Kilmarnock are still seven points adrift of safety, and Curtis' absence could be a significant blow.
As the World Cup draw nears, Curtis will be keeping his fingers crossed for a call-up. However, Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes will be keen to hold onto the midfielder, who has been a key player in the team's survival bid. 'Findlay has been excellent for us, and we're grateful for his loan,' McInnes said. 'We'll have to see what happens with the World Cup, but for now, we're focused on staying in the Premiership.'
Kilmarnock's next game is against Hearts at Tynecastle, a match they will need to win to keep their survival hopes alive. Curtis will be looking to make a statement against one of their main rivals, but the World Cup may soon have other plans for him.
