Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes has confirmed that Rangers are interested in Scott Wright.
The winger is out of contract at Pittodrie in the summer and is currently eyeing a contract elsewhere.
McInnes spoke to Gers boss Steven Gerrard following the Light Blues’ 2-1 win at Pittodrie on Sunday.
He said: “There has been a conversation at boardroom level.
“I spoke to Steven yesterday, he called me to say that they would have an interest in Scott on a pre-contract and wanted to do things properly.
“That is not always the case when it gets to players running out of contract. We appreciate that Rangers came through the front door and did things properly.”
McInnes added: “I resigned myself that Scott was leaving anyway.
“We made our first offer to Scott in the first week in October and we have never had any encouragement from Scott or his agent.
“They never really gave us a chance of a counter offer so I have resigned myself over the last few months that the likelihood is he was leaving at the end of the season and nothing has really changed on that.
“I think there is more than one club interested but nonetheless, Rangers have illustrated that they have an interest in Scott and they could do a pre-contract with Scott, really any time.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
