LEE WALLACE reckons Rangers are simply the best on and off the park – and now he is targeting a Scottish Cup medal to end a season to remember on a high note.

The Ibrox skipper was named Player of the Year at the Light Blues’ awards ceremony on Sunday evening as he capped a superb campaign with the top individual prize.

Barrie McKay collected the Young Player of the Year gong, while James Tavernier’s strike in the Petrofac Training Cup final against Peterhead was named goal of the season.

Wallace fought off competition from several candidates to be named the Gers’ top performer this term as Mark Warburton’s side have clinched the Championship crown.

And the left-back is now determined to add another medal to his collection when Rangers return to Hampden next month to face Hibernian in the Scottish Cup final.

Glasgow Times:

Wallace told rangers.co.uk: “This means the world to me. While I recognise it’s an individual award and I take great pride in that, we could have had a number of players up on that stage receiving this award based on the success of this season.

“As a consequence, it’s allowed the team to go on and be as successful as it has been. The team medals are going to live long with me, but they are every bit as special as each other, and you can never take it for granted.

“They are every bit as special as each other – whether it be team or individual – and this is certainly a night that I will always remember.

“We all definitely grew in belief. When the manager first spoke to us on that first day back at pre-season, that belief certainly grew and we certainly had the hunger, and slowly, week by week as we got used to each other we built up and built up and all of a season were beating Hibs 6-2.

Glasgow Times:

“Then, I think many people on the outside realised that there was maybe something special happening here, but we had to go and prove it.

“We have been asked a number of questions, faced a number of challenges, but thankfully we’ve rose to them, and we still have our last challenge on May 21 to look forward to.

“We have the best of everything, and we can never take that for granted. We have the best training ground, the best manager in place, the best assistant in David, the best goalkeeping coach in Jim Stewart, the best of physios, the best of analysts, the best of food, the best masseurs the best of kit men, and the list goes on.

“It’s a great platform for us to maximise our tools and be the best we can be.

“I can’t speak highly enough of the manager, and I think a lot of talk goes on about the football, but what we can’t forget is what a great human being he is as well, and we have learned a lot on that front too.

“He’s well-mannered and well-spoken as we can always see, and it’s been a really enjoyable season which we can make a tremendous one.”
