Have a look at this incredible save from Rangers youngster Kieran Wright.

From point-blank range, the on-loan Partick Thistle keeper produced a save that Allan McGregor would have been proud of.

It was made even better with the fact that the Jags went straight on the counter attack and scored at the other end within seconds.

Radio Clyde’s Andrew MacLean was present at the Excelsior Stadium and shared the fine stop on Twitter.

The save lead to the equaliser for 1-1 – Partick went on to defeat their hosts 2-4.

Airdrie manager and former Ranger Ian Murray even highlighted the stop as the turning point in the game and paid credit to Wright.

He told the Daily Record:

“It was an incredible save from the goalkeeper.”

“It was a huge moment, it was either 2-0 or 1-1. It’s bad enough to miss that chance to go two nil up but it’s 1-1 so quick after.”

The 20-year old is at Firhill on a season-long loan and is aiming to take full advantage of his time at the League 1 side.

More of the same from Wright will please Jags boss Ian McCall and will certainly be noticed by the coaches at Rangers Auchenhowie training base.
