We’re showing spirit says Lee

RANGERS captain Lee Wallace insists recent late winners are a sign of spirit rather than struggle at the Ibrox club.

It t ook a second-half brace from substitute Joe Dodoo against struggling Partick Thistle on Saturday — the second with almost the last kick of the game — to hand the Light Blues a 2-1 win.

The previous week a stoppage-time header from substitute Harry Forrester gave the Gers a narrow 1-0 home victory over another bottom-six side, Dundee.

Ahead of the Ladbrokes Premiership clash with H e a r t s a t Ty n e c a s t l e tonight, Wallace claimed those late counters were testament to the side’s character.

“It actually pleases me we have that bit about us,” said the Scotland defender.

“If we had not won these games, the questions might have been that we don’t have that resilience, we don’t contain that character in the team, that we have not got that never-say-die attitude.

“So it pleases me. Getting the three points is crucial, the fact we managed to do it, leaving it late last week and the week before, it doesn’t make any difference.”

Rangers are looking to cement second place against Hearts t onight, whom they lead by three points with Aberdeen two points behind in third place.

Mark Warburton insists he will move to bolster his squad in January but only if the players are the right fit.

Chairman Dave King last week said money would be made available i n the transfer window for the Gers boss.

Warburton will use those funds but only if any potential new recruits add something tangible to the squad.

He said: “We move i n January if the right player or players become available.”
