£5.6k-p/w wasted: Rangers liability has been ransacking Wilson's pockets for 56 weeks - opinion

Rangers chief Ross Wilson has enjoyed a successful spell at Ibrox as he has overseen a Premiership title win since joining the club.

He worked with Steven Gerrard to end Celtic’s dominance of the division and has now brought in Gio van Bronckhorst to make it two title wins on the bounce for the Scottish giants.

He has been unable to establish himself as a regular for the Gers as he has left a lot to be desired at times when he has been selected to play.

His last start for the club came in a 1-0 win over Livingston last month. As per SofaScore, he lost five of his nine duels, completed one of his four attempted crosses and failed with his only dribble attempt in the match. This has been a theme throughout the campaign, as he has lost 54% of his duels and 25% of his crosses in 14 Premiership games.

Wright is reportedly on £5.6k-per-week and has been picking up his wage for 56 weeks now with a minimal
