SCOTT WRIGHT was delighted that Rangers showed a ruthless edge in attack as the Light Blues hit Dundee for five without reply at Dens Park last night.
The Gers recorded their highest margin away league victory since the 6-1 success over Motherwell at Fir Park in October 2021 as goals from Ryan Jack, Danilo, Sam Lammers, Cyriel Dessers and James Tavernier powered Philippe Clement's side to victory.
And Wright believes the side were professional in their approach to the game having been forced to endure a 45-minute delay to kick-off on Tayside.
Speaking to RangersTV after the match, the 26-year-old commented: "We were a bit frustrated going in at half-time; we had created some really good chances and created some good patterns of play, but our final pass or shot wasn't hitting the back of the net for us.
"It's been something that we've needed to do more, kill teams off, so we knew we had to come out second half and blow them away. And I think we done that; the patterns of play that we had were great and the boys took their goals absolutely fantastically.
"It's great when some of the stuff comes off for you. I'm delighted for the boys getting their goals, and it's so important for us as a team to capitalise and finish the chances that we're creating.
"I thought it was a really strong team performance. It wasn't ideal with the delay getting to the game, and then at the start, but we just had to focus on ourselves and make no excuses."
Wright has featured in all four of Clement's opening matches in charge, producing a strong performance at Dens Park as he dovetailed effectively with his fellow attackers.
And the 26-year-old believes last night's triumph has teed the side up nicely for Sunday's Viaplay Cup semi-final showdown with Hearts at Hampden Stadium.
He continued: "We have leaders in the team, as well as the manager, and it's just about making sure we stick to the game plan that we've been working on all week, and I think we delivered that really strongly.
"The manager has given me a fresh slate which is exactly what I've been after. All I can do is work hard, try to grab the opportunities that I'm given with both hands, and try to work as hard as possible for my next opportunity.
"It's a massive weekend coming up for us. All we can do is take it game-by-game; we've got tonight's game out of the way, and we've won it really well, which gives us good momentum going into the weekend."
