Kieran Wright Rangers Departure Ends 17-Year Ibrox Spell

Kieran Wright’s kieran wright rangers departure is now set for this summer after he announced on Instagram on Monday that he will leave Rangers when his contract expires. The goalkeeper said he has spent 17 years with the Govan club, bringing a long spell at Ibrox to its final weeks.

Wright’s message landed just after a seven-day emergency loan at Kilmarnock, underlining how quickly his situation has shifted. Rangers are expected to go through another squad overhaul in the summer transfer window, and the goalkeeping department is one area set to change first.

Jack Butland sent him an emotional reply: “All the best to you and the family, mate. You’ve been a pleasure to work with.” Findlay Curtis, Connor Barron and Leon King also wished him well, marking the end of a long club run with a clear show of support from inside the dressing room.

The timing matters for Rangers because the 2025-26 season has already been completed, so the departure feeds directly into the club’s summer reset rather than a live campaign decision. Jack Butland’s howler against Falkirk came in the season finale on Saturday, which only adds to the attention on the position Wright is leaving behind.

Rangers now have one more personnel change to absorb before the new season starts, and Wright’s exit is the first obvious step in that process. For a player who joined as a youngster and stayed for 17 years, the move closes one of the longest-running ties in the current squad.
