Like with Paul Ritchie, any player who performs consistently to a high standard in the Scottish top flight is likely to earn a move to either Rangers or Celtic, and that proved to be the case with Stephen Wright who made 175 appearances in all competitions for Aberdeen. His displays at Pittodrie also earned the defender an international call-up by Scotland before he secured a £1.5m transfer to Rangers in 1995, but a torrid run with injuries restricted Wright to just 19 matches in three years and effectively ended his career at the top level. Wright helped Bradford City to promotion to the Premier League during the 1998-1999 campaign but he would not make any league appearances for the Bantams the following season.
