Rangers player joins Livingston on emergency loan deal

Kieran Wright, the custodian for Rangers, has been temporarily loaned to Livingston.

The 24-year-old has been added to David Martindale’s team in advance of their Saturday encounter with Motherwell.

Wright, who joined Rangers in 2016, hasn’t played in any domestic matchdays for the Ibrox club this season, but he has been on the bench in several European games.

But now, at Livingston, Wright might get the chance to make his debut in the Scottish Premiership this year.
When Jack Hamilton of Livingston sustained an injury, the custodian was promptly signed on a seven-day emergency loan.

“Livingston FC can announce that custodian Kieran Wright has joined the club on a 7-day emergency loan from Rangers FC,” the club said in a statement.

“After Jack Hamilton was injured, the 25-year-old trained with the Lions this morning and was immediately added to the matchday squad for tomorrow’s trip to Fir Park.

“Kieran joined the Ibrox team in 2016 and has since played for Scotland at the U17, U19, and U21 levels as well as on loan at Albion Rovers, Raith Rovers, Alloa Athletic, Partick Thistle, and Dumbarton.

“The club would like to thank the SPFL, the SFA and Rangers FC Director of Football Operations Creag Robertson for their help in making this possible.”

“Goalkeeper Kieran Wright will today join @LiviFCOfficial on a 1-week emergency loan,” the Rangers announced. Kieran, good luck.
