Rangers winger Scott Wright 'transfer target' for trio of English Championship clubs

Rangers winger Scott Wright is a transfer target for three English Championship clubs, according to a report.

It's claimed the 26-year-old is a possible target for Sheffield Wednesday, Preston and Derby this summer.

Darren Witcoop claims enquiries have been made to Rangers by the trio of clubs over the availability of Wright during the transfer window.

However, all three clubs are also thought to have other players on their respective shortlists.

Wright has reported interest from abroad as well as the English clubs tracking him

Witcoop posted on social media: "Scott Wright due to leave Rangers this summer with the Championship likely destination.

"Sheffield Wednesday, Preston and Derby have all made enquiries. All clubs have other options but Wright on the list of targets.

"Interest also from overseas in the wideman."

The summer interest in Wright comes after the winger was close to leaving Rangers one year ago.

A move to Turkiye collapsed at the final stages with Wright then returning to the Ibrox club.

Reflecting on the situation, Wright previously said: “It’s mad the way things work out in football.

"I had gone out to Turkey and spoken to the club but for a few different reasons it didn’t seem right for me personally to go. I was grateful to Michael [Beale] at that point because he let me go out and speak to the club.

“But he never really pushed me out the door. He said there was a place for me here. Football moves so fast and I was grateful to come back to such a massive club and I will continue to work hard and try and fight for more opportunities.

“Hindsight is a crazy thing in football, looking back but ideally that (winning the title) would be the best case scenario for sure.”
