Scott Wright, our resident journeyman, was born in Scotland on 8 August 1997. At the sprightly age of 28, he finds himself dodging defenders as a forward, primarily on the right wing, for Dundee. Physical prowess? Well, Wright stands at a perfectly average 5ft 8in (1.75m), and tips the scales at an underwhelming 10st 3lb (65kg). He wears the number 25 jersey like it's his job, which, let's be clear, it is.
Funny enough, his track record with Dundee is as convoluted as a Glaswegian's guide to Edinburgh. His maiden voyage in professional football commenced in July 2014 when he joined Aberdeen. Mostly known for his sporadic appearances, the impact was, let's say, less than profound.
After a roller-coaster ride between bench warming and outright obscurity, a loan in the 2018-19 season took him from his home at Aberdeen to Dundee, where he made 13 impacts, ahem, appearances and scored on three occasions. Glittering heights, indeed.
His Dundee loan terminated in June 2019 and like a boomerang that kept coming back, he returned to Aberdeen. Alas, the more things change, the more they remain the same. His second coming at Aberdeen was much like the first with Wright's name hardly a fixture on the teamsheet.
Eventually, one man's bench warmer is another man's… bench warmer. Rangers took him off Aberdeen's hands in February 2021 for around £150k—a modest fee for a player with such grand ambition. His time wandering among the Gers was marked by sporadic appearances, a handful of goals, and a tour of every square foot of their bench.
But, undeterred by the love from the home crowd, he took his talents across the border in August 2024 to Birmingham City, costing the English side a whopping £300k.
After hopping around a bit with the Blues, Wright once again found himself going back to Dundee in February 2026. Quite an eventful life for someone who consistently finds himself being transferred around like a Pass-the-Parcel game.
Despite the musical chairs routine, Wright managed to score a minor appearance in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Dundee. Maybe it's the magic of the cup or just his proclivity for drama, we will never know.
