As noted by rangers.co.uk, Wright has been training with the first team for a while and frequently been backup to the pool of senior goalkeepers at Rangers, having spent more than a decade in the club’s academy along with gaining first-team experience with loan spells at Gala Fairydean, Albion Rovers and Raith Rovers.
He has played in four matches for the ‘Gers in this season’s Scottish Challenge Cup, with clean sheets in three of those and just one goal scored against him in that run. [via TransferMarkt]
