Many Rangers fans are buzzing for the future after their latest glimpse of exciting Ibrox asset Scott Wright.

The Gers signed the 23-year-old from Aberdeen for a minor fee on the final day of the winter transfer window, just weeks after he had penned a pre-contract agreement.

He was one of two arrivals on deadline day, with defender Jack Simpson signing from Bournemouth.

Wright has received much more playing time to date, though, and supporters are impressed by what they’ve seen.

The versatile attacker was brought on for the final 15 minutes of Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Celtic and he looked lively on his Old Firm debut.

Rangers weren’t able to create a great deal in the closing stages but Wright picked up good positions, contributed several nice touches and showed flashes of searing pace, in a similarly bright display to his previous six appearances, all of which have come as a substitute.

The new signing’s attitude has also impressed fans and he spoke well after the game.

“It is great that he (Gerrard) has got that faith in me and I think it is something you really work hard for is that trust from the manager,” said Wright [Rangers.co.uk].

“All I can do is to keep working hard at the training ground and to work hard in games when I get the minutes and try to repay that trust.”

Here’s a selection of reactions to Wright’s display:

Rangers fans also praised a more senior Ger for a ‘sensational’ display at Parkhead and hammered a Celtic player for a ‘bitter’ post-match comment.
