RANGERS captain Lee Wallace insisted his team-mates should be furious with themselves for the way they threw away victory at Falkirk.

But vowed that the mistakes made in that defeat would not be repeated as his club aim to seal promotion and a Scottish Cup Final place.

Wallace was visibly annoyed by the way Rangers allowed Falkirk to score three late goals when his team should have been out of sight.

And he hoped the individual errors hurt and that lessons had been learned.

Wallace said: "There certainly should be anger in the dressing room. We are disappointed. It was a hurt dressing room. It is certainly not like us.

"We have got the quality to ensure the levels should stay where they have been. They have been there for a long time.

"We have been on an impressive run since the last time we visited Falkirk. It would have been nice to return there and overturn that previous result.

"It’s not happened and we are hurting, but it isn’t going to be for too long because we have the characters in there who will certainly look to be bouncing back.

"This defeat will be no different to the others."

Rangers were two up and had the game by the scruff of the neck, before Falkirk got going, and Wallace struggled to work out why it went so wrong.

The Gers skipper said: "It was possibly complacency. We were sitting at half-time speaking about how we should be three or four up.

"The message to us has to be start the second half at the same tempo as we started the first half.

"We had to go out and get the third, fourth and fifth goals that we spoke of. That didn’t happen for one reason or another and it was really disappointing.

"To start the game so well, play so well, create so many chances and be so bright and alive and energetic with the ball was great.

"But we were the opposite in the second half. We have taken the weekend to look at it and now we have a week to build towards the next game."

Rangers are at home to Queen of the South this Saturday and Wallace was adamant there would be no hangover from this setback.

He said: "As far as we’re concerned, we’re going to get over this, put it right, build for the future and bounce back like we have in the past.

"But the game is over now and we have lost it. We have had defeats in the past and have bounced back from them on every occasion.

"We went on a winning run after we lost to Kilmarnock so hopefully this time will be no different.”
