GERS RIGHT BEHIND THE GAFFER: LEE

- BY DAVID MCCARTHY

LEE WALLACE last night insisted the Rangers dressing is 100 per cent behind under-fire boss Pedro Caixinha.

Ibrox captain Wallace admitted that trailing Celtic, Aberdeen and St Johnstone by five points after just three games isn’t good enough - but he dismissed any notion that Caixinha’s methods were being doubted by the players.

Wallace, speaking after Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Hearts, said: “We would have been looking for a far better start, especially now we have had two home games back to back.

“We have only got one point from that. We demand high standards, but, at the same time, it is not a disaster for us.

“We recognise it is not the start we wanted, but we are going to be working hard to put that right and the only way to do that is to get back training and trying to make things better.

“Every single game that we go into we want to win and we haven’t done that in the last two weeks.

“That is the overriding feeling in that dressing room, nothing else regarding the manager.

“We are fully behind what is going on here. We as players need to recognise that we need to start kicking on and regaining that momentum.

“If the gap is there it will take a couple of wins to get that back. But there is no worrying on our part.

“We are disappoint­ed with the start that we have made, but we are going to constantly strive to be better. “
