Scott rules the debate over first goal in his favour!
Scott Wright is adamant he has bagged his first brace as a Rangers player.
The 24-year-old believes the opening goal at Fir Park should be credited to him and not put down as an own goal by Motherwell goalie Liam Kelly.
There was no doubt about the second strike to beat Kelly – Wright rifled it confidently into the net.
He said: “I will need to claim the first one as well! It was a bit of a rammy in the box.
“I am delighted with the second one, it is what I work hard for, Monday to Friday, to try and get opportunities like this.
“I need to make sure I take them when I get them.
“Every week is an opportunity for me in training to try and show the boss what I can do.”
Wright paid tribute to the pace and power of team-mate Fashion Sakala.
The Zambian struggles for composure when it comes to taking chances but his strong running set-up Wright’s second and was responsible for the penalty kick that was scored by captain James Tavernier.
“He was fantastic,” said Wright. “He had the chance for me just at the end of the first half, which I should have done better with as well.
“I am glad I was able to take one for Fash.”
Motherwell boss Graham Alexander bemoaned his side’s failure to take advantage of their one-man numerical supremacy.
He warned his players that unless they adopt an attacking approach to games, the club’s results will continue to fluctuate.
Alexander believes the pattern of the game – his side competing well for a spell and then falling away – is the story of their season.
He said: “For 45 minutes we were really good. We committed as a team, we pressed Rangers all over the pitch and caused them problems.
“We didn’t give them time on the ball to dictate and, at 1-1, the game was there for us to take.
“But we had to stay on the front foot and put them under pressure.
“We didn’t do that in the second half, we let them pop it around at the back.
“They knocked it over our heads or walked through our team to score. It’s a missed opportunity because it was there for us.
“We did the same thing in our first game back after the winter break against Ross County when the opposition went down to 10 men.
“If we’d have pressed like we did in the first half we could have won the game.
“Until we learn lessons about how our team does its best work, our form won’t be any different.
“That’s what we need to try and fix.”
