IF he plays as well as he talks he will do ok

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."

I like the sound of the guy, let's hope he's just as determined in his performances.

 

I think he'll do OK.

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...

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.

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

Guys like Albertz, Hateley, Laudrup, Gascoigne etc, etc, were'nt Gers fans when growing up. But they are now!

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.
