Recruits all know the drill

Lee Wallace insists he hasn’t had to deliver the captain’s address to any of Rangers’ new signings – because they all get what they’re a part of the minute they walk through the door.

The 29-year-old looks set to continue as skipper under Pedro Caixinha after being appointed to the role by former Ibrox boss Mark Warburton.

And with eight new faces rolling in this summer, he said: “Any issue they have I’m always there to help. I told the new signings that when I first met them.

“The size of this club, though, it doesn’t really need a captain or any individual players to tell them what we are about.

“We are a massive club – the manager uses that phrase a lot. They’ll understand even walking around the training pitch the way we train and slowly but surely, step by step, game by game they will feel it in their blood exactly what it is to be a Rangers player.

“Their mentality is probably the most important thing about them.

“We all recognise these players coming in are good enough in terms of their ability but hopefully their mentality is such that they can quickly adjust to what being a Rangers player is about – the day-to-day demands, the expectations on a match day.

“But they’ve done their homework. You hear a lot of them talking in their interviews about the size of the club and the ambitions we have.”
