Ex-Rangers star OUT for the season with serious knee injury as fans rue loss of star who’s ‘very handy at this level’


FORMER Rangers star Scott Wright has been ruled out for the remainder of Birmingham’s League One campaign with a serious knee injury.

The former Ibrox forward – part of an ex-Gers contingent at the club which also includes Kieran Dowell and Ben Davies – lasted just nine minutes of Birmingham‘s clash with Reading at the weekend.

He got his studs caught in the turf with the Blues bench immediately appearing concerned and Wright waving for the physios to enter the field.

And now former Celtic No 2 Chris Davies admits that he won’t play again this season.

Davies said: “With Scott, unfortunately it looks like a bad knee injury so we are not going to see him for the remainder of the season sadly.”

Wright scored a clinching goal in the Ibrox side’s Scottish Cup win and also graced a European final with the Gers.

He will have two years remaining on the three-year deal he penned with the League One club last summer and is likely to pick up where he left off in the Championship next season.

They’re currently nine clear of Wycombe Wanderers at the top of the table with a game in hand.

It’s been a stop start period for Wright, who missed the best part of two months of action after picking up an injury in the build-up to the 3-1 win over Lincoln on October 19.

Wright had made 23 appearances for his new team – scoring three goals including a crucial last minute winner against Wigan earlier in the campaign.

Fans were gutted about losing him for the campaign – with many blaming the Reading pitch

One wrote on social media: “Scott Wright out for the season is gutting for him.


“Shame he’s not really had a chance to get going this season because he looks very handy at this level.”

Another said simply: “The worst pitch I’ve seen for 40 years.”

A third said: “Awful to see that and absolutely gutted for him.”

A fourth wrote: “That reading pitch caused it too.”

Another man whose laid low with a bad injury is former Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes, with the big striker now set to be ruled out for Scotland’s March clashes against Greece.

Davies said: “Lyndon’s is a nasty injury also although there’s a chance we might see him at the back end of the season.”
