RANGERS vice-captain Lee Wallace has revealed that he is feeling the nerves ahead of the biggest three weeks of his career at Ibrox.

The 27-year-old left-back stayed with the Glasgow club throughout the agonies of administration and liquidation and set his sights on helping them back through the leagues when they were ordered to begin again in the old Third Division in 2012.

Rangers now face a quarter-final contest with Queen of the South in the SPFL Premiership Play-Offs with the first leg taking place at Palmerston on Saturday evening and Wallace is acutely aware of everything at stake.

"I still get nervous before games and it is a probably more of a nervousness over failing or playing badly," he stated.

"I think every player is like that and they would probably be lying if they said that they aren't nervous, no matter what age they are or what stage of their career they are at.

"I have been one of the ones along with Lee McCulloch, Ian Black and a couple of the young boys that have played since the Third Division, so we will be doing all we can to try and make sure we get up this season and make it a three-year progression.

"Having to do this via the play-offs is not the way we planned on doing it, but there is a fighting chance of achieving it, so we are going to give it our best.

"Everyone is equally determined to do this, but there are some of us who have had that extra couple of years fighting for this.

"We all want to get back to the top flight because that is where Rangers belong and I have said on a number of occasions that we should be playing our football there.

"This is possibly the biggest month of my career so far at Rangers.

"Of course, I would have to sit and reflect back on games, moments and periods throughout my time at the club, but, because it is happening right now, it maybe is the hardest."

Wallace has also made a point of stating that there is no way he is preparing to jump ship should Rangers fail to make it out of the SPFL Championship this season.

"I think some of my comments were misinterpreted when I had said that we couldn't contemplate another season in the Championship," said Wallace in an interview with the official club website.

"What I meant by that was that it was unthinkable because it would have taken us off our path.

"We always wanted to get back up and it is the unthinkable to stay in this division again because of our failures and because of how poor we have been this season.

"If it means another year, I am fully focussed. I am picturing myself being here for a long, long time, but the main focus is to get back up and we have these games to make sure we do.

"Everybody needs to focus on that. We have six games that we can use as a mini-season and get ourselves up to the top league."
