rbr 1,247 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 LEE WALLACE admits signing for Rangers was a no-brainer once the Light Blues had their �£1.5 million bid accepted. The 23-year-old sealed a five year contract and says that the chance to become a medal winner was a key reason behind his move from Edinburgh to Glasgow. He revealed a conversation with manager Ally McCoist has already inspired him ahead of what he sees as a huge challenge. Wallace said: "Having just spoken to the manager for ten minutes I can see that he is a winner and that's what I want to become. "I know I need to work hard to get the chance to play but that's what I want to do because I want to be a winner. "I'm going in to a dressing room that is full of winners and that can only benefit me. I know five or six through the international scene as well. "But the winning mentality is built in to the club and that's something I want to develop because I want to be a winner." Wallace admitted that he is relieved that the long running transfer saga is now over after a summer long pursuit by the Light Blues. He added: "I'm just happy that it has finally come about. There has been a bit of speculation but that is good to hear because it is such a big club. "I've got ambitions to play at a high level and with what has happened today I have met those so I am delighted it has finally happened. "There was a slight concern but I'm a professional and I kept going in and working hard. That's how I am, so I stayed focused." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I like the sound of the guy, let's hope he's just as determined in his performances. I think he'll do OK. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I always thought Wallace was a Rangers fan... surely he would have mentioned its a dream to play for his boyhood heroes if he was... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter who he supports. The fact he's a Rangers player is what is important and him playing well for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's a Rangers player is what is important and him playing well for us. Exactly. How often does a player sign and then you get 'oh by the way he was a Rangers supporter as a kid' Lee Wallace will give 100% for us regardless if he was a 'Ranger' or not 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dutchy Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I don't think Novo could seriously claim he grew up checking Rangers results as a kid either, but he's certainly a defender of us now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
