Rangers will make an approach for Aberdeen forward Scott Wright.
He’s out of contract this summer and hasn’t agreed terms on a new deal.
Rangers could offer a pre-contract, but @SkySportsNews understands they’re looking to do a deal in this window.

With two goals and five assists under Derek McInnes the Scotland Under-21 cap has shown that he can be creative influence in a team that suits his style of play, however, after watching our fixture at the weekend, it’s pretty clear that where he is will only hold back his development.
Scott Wright for Greg Stewart?
Yes, please
No, thanks
We saw a glimpse of what he is capable of on Sunday – on the rare occasions that they did venture forward – he is quick with the ball at his feet and is able to play on either flank, in a second striker role and loves to drive at opposition players.
The biggest concern would be that he has only just recovered from an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered at the start of the 2019 season followed by surgery for a hernia this term, there is no doubting his talent but this doesn’t look good on his record – the fact that he is available without a transfer fee does negate this though and he is certainly worth the gamble, especially if Stewart is going in the opposite direction.
