Overnight it seems that Scott Wright’s price tag has crashed from £10m down to just £2m as interest from Al Ettifaq comes under scrutiny.

Even at £2m it would be a fantastic profit for Micky Beale who hasn’t been able to shift any of the deadwood from his bloated squad.

It started as a wind-up from a little known Twitter account, Fraser Fletcher of Football Inside gave it legs before the Daily Record slapped EXCLUSIVE! over the most unlikely of transfer tales. So unlikely that even Record readers were doubting it.

New Al Ettifaq boss Steven Gerrard has still to make any moves into the transfer market, given a massive budget and list of potential targets it is hard to see him being rejected by enough players to reach as far down the list as W for Wright.

Thrown in as a makeweight in the deal that took Ross McCrorie to Aberdeen, Wright has been the ultimate squad filler at Ibrox, only seeing game time when Gerrard, Giovanni van Bronckhorst or Beale had ran out of options.

Preston were rumoured to be interested at the end of last season but couldn’t match Wright’s Ibrox wages.

Like many of the misfits in Beale’s squad it is likely that only a loan deal will take Wright away from Ibrox as he runs down the last two years of his contract.
