The Fourth Official claims that after Scott Wright completes his move to Birmingham City, UK Rangers would get a payment of between £500,000 and £750,000. The winger, who is in the final year of his contract at Ibrox, will fetch a fair six-figure amount, according to an outlet’s YouTube channel post from August 28 at 3:25.
Rangers winger Scott Wright is poised to join League One club Birmingham City after the two teams agreed on a transfer, according to Football Insider. The 27-year-old, who developed through Aberdeen’s academy and had a loan spell at Dundee FC before joining Rangers in 2021, is set to make his first move outside of Scotland. Despite making over 100 appearances for Rangers, Wright primarily featured as a substitute, starting only 48 games and contributing 19 goals over his three years with the club.
Journalist Darren Witcoop reported that Wright had attracted interest from several Championship clubs, including Derby County, Preston North End, and Sheffield Wednesday. However, Birmingham City emerged as the frontrunner and secured his signature.
Birmingham, eager to return to the Championship after a disappointing relegation in the 2023/24 season, has been active in the transfer market under new manager Chris Davies. Wright is set to become the club’s 14th summer signing, following in the footsteps of center-back Ben Davies, who also joined Birmingham from Rangers. The club has also signed players like Alfie May, Alex Cochrane, Emil Hansson, Marc Leonard, Christoph Klarer, and Taylor Gardner-Hickman, reflecting their strong pull in both the European and domestic markets.
Davies has enjoyed a promising start to his tenure in League One, with Birmingham remaining unbeaten after winning two of their first three matches. As the transfer window nears its end, the club is keen to finalize its transfer business quickly.
From a strategic perspective, this move offers Wright the chance to secure regular first-team football, which he had struggled to achieve at Rangers. For Birmingham, this signing is part of a broader effort to rebuild the squad and aim for an immediate return to the Championship.
