It took Scott Wright almost three months to dial into Gio van Bronckhorst’s way of thinking. Now Greg Stewart reckons its only a matter of time before the Rangers winger has Steve Clarke on the phone with a Scotland call-up.
The 24-year-old’s number looked to be up at one point last season as he failed to connect with his new Gers gaffer’s methods. The former Aberdeen kid was a regular feature during the early weeks of the Dutchman’s Ibrox reign but a dip in form and a failure to stay on message with the boss’ tactical instructions saw him cut off from first-team duties.
Between kicking-off against Livingston at the end of January and his next Premiership start away to Motherwell in the last week of April, Wright would tally up a total of just 254 minutes of action, with 90 of those registered after he joined a list of fringe men facing Annan in the Scottish Cup. But by the end of the season, Wright had reconnected with his manager and was trusted to fill in as an injury-hit Light Blues squad went the distance in Europe.
