Scott Wright joins Rangers as Ross McCrorie makes Aberdeen switch permanent

Rangers have completed the signing of Aberdeen forward Scott Wright, with Ross McCrorie making his loan spell at Pittodrie permanent.

Scott Wright has joined Rangers ahead of his proposed move in the summer with Ross McCrorie making his loan switch permanent

Wright has signed a four-and-a-half year deal with the Ibrox side just days after agreeing a pre-contract arrangement to make the move to Glasgow in the summer.

Rangers made an undisclosed offer for the 23-year-old on transfer deadline day which the Dons accepted, leading to McCrorie – who had signed a loan deal in August with a view to joining permanently at the end of the current season – making his move to the north-east permanent earlier than planned.

Speaking to Rangers’ website Wright said: “I’m delighted to be here at this massive club and can’t wait to run out at Ibrox for my debut, and then hopefully in front of a full house in the not-too-distant future.

“It is a real privilege to have the opportunity to work under a manager like Steven Gerrard and speaking to him and Ross Wilson, I am really impressed with how everyone at the club all have the same aims and ambitions.

“I cannot wait to meet my new teammates and get started as a Rangers player."

Gerrard added: “It is very pleasing to have Scott for the rest of this season. This will give him the opportunity to gain some valuable game time in a blue shirt for the rest of the season.

“Scott is a player that I have admired and I believe that we can utilise his skill set within our system. He will train with his new teammates tomorrow.”
