As Rangers ran out 1-0 winners over Kilmarnock at Ibrox the club’s fans got the chance to see January signing and ex-Aberdeen star Scott Wright for the second time.
The tricky winger was given ten minutes plus injury time to leave an impression with the Ibrox supporters and certainly caught the eye.

Scott Wright looks like he could be a decent player for us. I know it's early to judge with only 2 sub appearances but early signs are positive.

Wright’s Ibrox debut also came whilst Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes claimed he wanted to keep the winger and that the Pittodrie board sanctioned the player’s move to Ibrox on deadline day.
The Dons have now gone five Scottish Premiership matches without a goal following their 0-0 draw with St Mirren with the pressure mounting behind the Aberdeen manager.
“Scott Wright leaving on the last day of the window; would I have wanted to keep him? Absolutely I wanted to keep him,” said McInnes [Daily Record].
“I would have because the boy was committed to us.
“It’s a board decision. There is money there to come in.

“So it was disappointing to lose him but I accept it. It’s not the first player I have lost through transfers.”
Wright’s transfer to Rangers has caused a bit of a stir in the northeast with the Aberdeen supporters subjecting the player to abuse for signing for their rivals.
