Plymouth Argyle have entered the race to sign Rangers winger Scott Wright, according to the Heart and Hand Patreon.
Following their near-certainty of Championship status for another season, Plymouth Argyle are preparing for a new chapter under Wayne Rooney’s leadership.
Under Ian Foster, the Pilgrims faltered after off to a strong start under Steven Schumacher. In the end, Rooney emerged as the most impressive contender for the permanent position following the campaign, with Neil Dewsnip leading the Pilgrims to safety in his role as caretaker manager.
He’s been working hard to reorganise Home Park’s roster this summer, but more players are still needed.
A new name has recently come to Plymouth Argyle’s attention.
Reporter David Edgar stated on the Heart and Hand Patreon (via Ibrox News) that the Championship team is the most recent team to express interest in Rangers winger Scott Wright. The 26-year-old has been strongly connected to leaving the team, and the second division may be his last destination.
Wright’s recruitment has been considered by Sheffield Wednesday, but other teams are also interested. According to Darren Witcoop, Preston North End and Derby County, two more Championship teams, are also after Wright.
Wright was born and raised in Scotland, where he first attended Aberdeen’s academy before joining Rangers during the winter transfer window of 2021.
However, given the Championship’s growing attention, it’s possible that he moves south of the border. He could possibly think about Plymouth Argyle, as Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday are all believed to be interested.
It appears likely that he will move on as well. Given that he is nearing the end of his Rangers contract and hasn’t made much of an effect at Ibrox, this is a nice opportunity for them to secure a fee for Wright.
If not, teams might try to sign him in 2025 as a free agent or on a pre-contract.
Rooney’s wing options
Plymouth Argyle and Rooney could do with adding some more options on the wings ahead of the new season. Ibrahim Cissoko has joined Mustapha Bundu and star man Morgan Whittaker out wide, while Bali Mumba has operated there before.
Wright offers his services on both flanks and through the middle as an attacking midfielder.
He’d bring some valuable versatility to the Pilgrims’ attack and boasts the pace to be a handful at any level. If Rooney can help add a bit more end product to his game, Wright could become an influential player at Home Park.
With plenty of clubs keen though, time will tell just where the Scot is plying his trade come the start of the new campaign.
