Swindon Town eye Rangers midfielder Calum Adamson for loan
Swindon Town are eyeing a loan move for Rangers midfielder Calum Adamson, who is the subject of a transfer tussle between Scottish Premiership clubs. With four loan slots still available to him, Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway will be looking at potential loan options to help bolster the squad.
What happened?
Swindon Town are interested in signing Rangers midfielder Calum Adamson on loan, as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the new season. Adamson, an attack-minded central midfielder, has impressed on loan at Alloa Athletic and is highly rated at Ibrox.
Why it matters for Swindon Town
Swindon Town are currently 12 points behind leaders Bromley in the England League Two table, with a goal difference of +11. They have scored 70 goals and conceded 59 this season, with a recent form of LLDLW. Their last result was a 1-2 defeat to Chesterfield on May 2, 2026.
What comes next?
Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway will be looking at potential loan options to help bolster the squad. With Adamson's impressive performances on loan at Alloa Athletic, he could be a valuable addition to the Swindon Town team. However, they will face competition from other Scottish Premiership clubs, including St Mirren and Kilmarnock, who are also interested in signing the 18-year-old midfielder.
Adamson, who is yet to make his senior debut for Rangers, has been praised for his committed displays for Alloa Athletic. He has picked up 12 yellow cards from 26 appearances and has scored two goals and five assists in Scottish League One last season. His path to first-team football is blocked under Derek McInnes, which has led to interest from other clubs.
Swindon Town have been linked with a move for Adamson after he impressed on loan at Alloa Athletic last season. They have been battling against St Mirren and Kilmarnock to get the talented youngster on a temporary deal. Adamson is an attack-minded central midfielder who is very highly rated at Ibrox and got two goals and five assists in Scottish League One last season, as well as netting another two in the Challenge Cup and one in the playoffs against Airdrieonians.
The Scotsman believe that Kilmarnock would be the favourites to bring him in, having done well to develop Findlay Curtis when he was on loan last season, and they have already signed Bailey Rice from The Gers this summer. Adamson headed with the Rangers first team to Spain earlier this month and has started two friendlies for them this summer.
Speaking to the Rangers Review, Adamson feels his first loan experience helped him a lot: “It was all massively beneficial for me, and I can take that into next season, whether it’s going out on another loan or with the Rangers first team. “I definitely feel I’m in a brilliant position going into the new campaign, whatever happens. “The year was a massive step in the right direction for my football and even my personality. “I enjoyed the loan environment, and I was also back training with the Rangers first-team quite often, so that also helped grow my confidence. You are training with top players, and I felt even more confident when I went to play with Alloa on the Saturday.”
Swindon Town are currently 9th in the England League Two table, with 75 points from 46 games. They have a recent form of LLDLW and have lost the last 4 games. Their goal difference is +11, with 70 goals scored and 59 conceded this season. They are 12 points behind leaders Bromley and will be looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
As Swindon Town look to bolster their squad, they will be keeping a close eye on the transfer market. With Adamson's impressive performances on loan at Alloa Athletic, he could be a valuable addition to the team. However, they will face competition from other Scottish Premiership clubs, including St Mirren and Kilmarnock, who are also interested in signing the 18-year-old midfielder.
