LEE WALLACE has revealed that Rangers’ top players are actively involved in drawing up a new Code of Conduct with manager Mark Warburton.

Warburton has spoken about how impressed he was with the set-up at Barcelona after initial encounters with their youth squads in the Next Gen tournament he co-founded and wants to see the same levels of professionalism from top to bottom at the Ladbrokes Championship outfit.

Wallace, last season’s vice-captain, admits the process of establishing those standards is now well under way with the focus very much on having the players on the same wavelength as the rest of the staff employed by the club at Ibrox and Murray Park.

“We have to appreciate the environment that we are working in,” said Wallace. “Sometimes, you can overlook that and take it for granted.

“We are now reinforcing that mindset in and around Murray Park and there are mannerisms now around the place as well.

“The players are looking to sort out their own Code of Conduct in-house. Whether it is between ourselves or the guys who work on the (playing) fields, it is about the respect that we show and that we can all come together with the staff at Ibrox and, more importantly, the fans.

“If we all go on this path together, the future is certainly looking great for Rangers.”

Wallace has also bought into the passing style of play that Warburton and his assistant David Weir are determined to implement at Rangers.

“It was widely documented that Brentford played a great brand of football and I think that got the eye of the nation,” he said. “The fact the manager and Davie got them from League One to the Championship play-offs was a massive eye-opener for everyone.”

Wallace crossed paths with Weir during the Rangers assistant manager’s days as a player, but he admits they did not quite bring out the best in each other.

“I have so much respect for him,” said Wallace in an interview with Rangers TV. “Unfortunately, he got injured on my debut against Malmo at Ibrox and that was it.

“He was in and around the dressing room, though, and was outstanding as a captain. Any problems or any bad moments in the early part of my Rangers career, I would go to Davie.

“He would be open and honest and it was great. It is just unfortunate I only got that first period with him.

“I played in a Scotland game with him as well, but I am pretty sure I got injured in that. It hasn’t been too great in terms of playing with each other, but I hope that playing under his coaching will help us all become better .”

Wallace has also admitted that last term’s squad let down Stuart McCall in his attempts to land the manager’s role on a permanent basis thanks to their 6-1 aggregate defeat to Motherwell in the final of the Premiership play-offs.

“It was sad with Stuart McCall and Kenny Black moving on,” said Wallace. “They did a great job and did everything they could and, in the end, we ended up failing them. The players let them down. We fell short for them.”
