LEE WALLACE is determined to emerge victorious from the biggest month of his Rangers career as he sets his sights on a Premiership return.

Stuart McCall's side face Queen of the South in the first leg of their play-off quarter-final on Saturday aiming to take another step towards Scotland's top tier.

Rangers have the chance to make up for a shocking season if they can grab the consolation prize and clinch a top flight spot at the second attempt.

And Wallace knows the Ibrox squad must step up to the plate to avoid another Championship campaign next term.

He said: "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.

"It will be the same for a lot of guys in the dressing room because you want to get back to the top flight.

"I think some of my comments were misinterpreted when I had said that we couldn't contemplate another season in the Championship.

"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 then I am fully focussed and 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 and everybody needs to focus on that, starting with a really tough game on Saturday."

Wallace was an integral part of the Light Blues team that eased to the Third Division and League One titles over the last two years.

The likes of Lee McCulloch, Dean Shiels and Ian Black are also aiming to make it three promotions on the spin and Wallace is eager make the most of their second chance.

"Everyone is equally determined to do this but there are some of us who have had that extra couple of years fighting for this so I think we will all be really focussed to get up as a group," he told rangers.co.uk.

"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."
