Aberdeen welcomes Peter Wright on May fifteen and the P and J Live crowd will raise the roof for Scotland most flamboyant champion. Snakebite arrives languishing in seventh place yet brimming with belief after tweaking his setup back to trusted twenty one gram barrels and posting three consecutive century plus averages in European Tour qualifiers.
Wright draws Michael van Gerwen in the opening match, a rivalry that has delivered fireworks for a decade. He stunned the Dutchman here in twenty twenty with a last dart double twelve and insists recent board sessions show the same rhythm returning.
Home stage energy can be double edged but Wright feeds on tartan noise. Merchandise stalls report record pre orders for his granite grey shirt inspired by Aberdeen architecture and he promises an entrance laced with bagpipe beats and confetti cannons.
The maths remain stark. Wright needs at least eight points from the last three nights to sneak into the top four, meaning only a trophy in Aberdeen keeps realistic hopes alive. He dismisses talk of pressure, noting that his first world title came after pundits wrote him off at Ally Pally.
If the mohawked maestro channels crowd electricity and finds tops and double sixteen with early precision, the Premier League narrative could yet take a late Scottish twist.
