Preston North End have had two bids rejected by Rangers for winger Scott Wright - with a deal now in the balance for the Scotsman.
Wright was only a bit-part player under Michael Beale last season after the Englishman joined from QPR in the World Cup break, and failed to cement his place in a side that featured competition such as Todd Cantwell, Fashion Sakala, Ianis Hagi and Rabbi Matondo all ahead of him in the pecking order.
That has left Wright's future in the lurch, with Ryan Lowe willing to take him to Lancashire as they aim to push for the play-off spots. But it now appears that the Deepdale side will move onto new targets as a deal looks unlikely - despite Wright not having a future at Ibrox - according to LancsLive.
The Scot joined the club from Aberdeen in 2021, but has only made 51 league appearances in two-and-a-half seasons - enough to rank him as a sporadic player.
His deal does not expire until 2025 which does benefit Rangers in the current window, though that asking price will diminish if they cannot find Wright a move in the summer.
We reported earlier this summer that Wright would be allowed to leave in a huge revamp of the playing staff, and with Kemar Roofe returning from injury, his chances of any playing time look to be awry.
