Sources: Rangers braced for Scott Wright offer after English clubs swoop

Rangers knocked back interest in winger Scott Wright from English clubs in the January window, sources have told Football Insider.

The Glasgow giants were unwilling to let the 25-year-old go as he is seen as a valuable squad player in Michael Beale’s side.

But Wright’s future will be up in the air at the end of the season, when he will have two years left on his contract.

English Championship clubs are believed to have made enquiries for the former Aberdeen star in the recently-shut window.

Rangers rejected the interest, but they are braced for formal offers ahead of the summer.

Wright has made 77 appearances for the Glasgow giants since joining at the end of the January 2021 window for a knock-down fee when his contract was close to expiring at the Dons.

But he has struggled to be a regular starter under three different managers.

His 27 matches this season have yielded a total of 881 minutes of matches, including only five Scottish Premiership starts and one in the Scottish League Cup.

Wright has yet to score this term and has supplied just two assists.

In total in a blue shirt, the former Scotland Under-21 international has accumulated eight goals and seven assists.

Football Insider revealed earlier this week that Rangers also rejected last-gasp loan bids for youngsters Alex Lowry and Leon King last month.

Hibernian made an offer for King, 19, but saw their approach knocked back while Dutch side FC Twente and Kilmarnock were interested in Lowry.
