# Rangers: Gers eye Scott Wright

**[According to The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/scott-wrights-potential-rangers-switch-23300623), Glasgow Rangers have declared their interest in signing Aberdeen forward Scott Wright.**

### **Wright on radar**

The Gers are said to be interested in a move for the 23-year-old, whose contract at Pittodrie will run out [at the end of this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-wright/profil/spieler/276914).

The Ibrox outfit are eager to complete a pre-contract agreement that would see Wright move to Glasgow as a bargain in the summer, but Aberdeen believe they can agree a deal to be completed this January, either including a transfer fee or a player swap.

### **Bizarre target**

It is not exactly clear why Rangers would be interested in signing Wright. He has scored [twice](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-wright/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/276914/saison//verein/0/liga/0/wettbewerb//pos/0/trainer_id/0/plus/1) and provided five assists in all competitions so far this campaign, but he has only started 10 of his side’s 21 Premiership matches this term, indicating that he is not a guaranteed started for his current club. Derek McInnes is a fan, though, previously calling him [“outstanding”](https://www.bt.com/sport/news/2021/january/aberdeen-boss-derek-mcinnes-welcomes-return-of-scott-wright).

On a free transfer, a deal would perhaps be good value for the Gers – after all, they could sell him on for some sort of fee in the future. He has also displayed versatility throughout his career to date. However, [13 career goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-wright/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/276914/saison//verein/0/liga/0/wettbewerb//pos/0/trainer_id/0/plus/1) is surely not the level the 54-time Scottish champions are targetting. Ross Wilson and Steven Gerrard must do better.
