When Neil McCann discovered that Scott Wright’s brace in Rangers’ 5-2 victory against Dundee was his first goals in the Scottish Premiership in two years, he was stunned.
After falling behind 2-0 to goals from Juan Portales and Jordan McGhee, the Gers appeared destined for even more humiliation. However, Ross McCausland pulled one back just before the half.
Cyriel Dessers and Todd Cantwell gave Rangers a 3-2 lead, and Wright added a late brace to cap off the match—his final league goal came in December 2021—making it undoubtedly a tale of two halves.
On Tuesday, May 14, McCann stated via BBC Sportscene: “It’s unbelievable that Scott Wright has scored his first and second Scottish Premiership goals in the last two years.
That’s amazing since he really does have a ton of opportunities. He should incorporate that into his strategy.
In Rangers vs. Dundee, Scott Wright breaks the unwanted goalscoring record. Having scored two goals in his eight-minute appearance on the Ibrox surface, the 26-year-old winger has demonstrated his brilliance as a player.
Although fans may have expected more from the dynamic winger, he has only scored 12 goals in 115 Rangers outings since signing from Aberdeen in 2021.
Having signed a four-and-a-half-year contract in February 2021, Wright is set to enter the final 12 months of his Ibrox contract. It will be intriguing to watch where the winger ends up this summer.
As part of his summer rebuild, Philippe Clement may be eager to keep Wright in the lineup, but given his strange track record at Ibrox, it’s possible that he may be traded during the upcoming transfer window, particularly as his contract is coming to an end.
Wright could be worth retaining around the team as a backup winger if the manager can get the most out of him the next season. It would be tough to imagine him staying at Ibrox, though, if there was an offer to come in this summer.
