Rangers fans have reacted with surprise to Scott Wright’s omission from today’s starting lineup.

Having arrived from Aberdeen in the January transfer window, Wright has been impressive in his appearances from the bench.

He was handed a starting berth in the 4-0 Scottish Cup third round win over Cove Rangers, and some supporters would like to have seen him retain his place for the visit of Hibs to Ibrox.

Hibs go into today’s game with two wins, two defeats and a draw from their last five league outings.
