Rangers face Scott Wright Groundhog Day as Sheffield Wednesday manager grilled on transfer

There are plenty of fans praying it won’t be Groundhog Day at Ibrox again this season.

While Scott Wright has been a hard-working option for the club, the winger has had enough chances to make a proper impression on the first-team squad over the last three-and-a-half years.

As Rangers shake things up under Philippe Clement, the striker is among seven extras linked with the exit door.

Now the manager of a club of potential suitors has raised questions about transfer interest in Wright this summer.

Manager Wright talked about transfers

Last summer, Scott Wright almost moved to Turkey.

This year, the 26-year-old is on the verge of moving to the Owls.

Sheffield Wednesday have been heavily linked with a move for the former Aberdeen winger as Clement looks to reshape the club’s first team squad.

Now the Championship club’s manager Danny Rohl has batted away questions relating specifically to Scott Wright following a pre-season friendly.

“I’m not going to talk about the name because it doesn’t make sense,” Rohl told BBC Sport South Yorkshire’s Football Heaven, as quoted by the Daily Record.

“This market moves so fast. We have an idea of ​​what we want to have, I have an idea of ​​how I want to play in the new season.

“We know what we need to improve when we look back from last season and then it’s about finding the right pieces to make our team stronger and stronger as we are very ambitious for the new season.”

The Rangers star’s future remains uncertain

The comments certainly do not rule out a move to Sheffield Wednesday for Scott Wright this summer.

They certainly don’t confirm one either.

Rangers are revamping their squad and the wide areas are under intense scrutiny from supporters due to the lack of contribution from the club’s interiors in recent seasons.

Scott Wright is among that number, and rightly so, he has stepped under the microscope himself.

In 117 appearances for Rangers, Wright managed just 12 goals and seven assists.

After years of domestic failure, it’s time for a change and it’s clear the Ibrox side need better if they are to fight back for the Scottish Premiership title.

With Ross McCausland also coming into the right wing position, Wright’s minutes are not only limited, but hinder the development of one of the club’s burgeoning young talents.

For us – and Rangers – the time for Scott Wright to move on was last summer, but this window is as good as any to breathe new life into the squad.

But until a move to Hillsborough is confirmed, don’t rule out the winger supporting the bench at Tynecastle in a month’s time.
