Lee Wallace has left Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers and has joined Queens Park Rangers.

Rangers exit
Wallace left Rangers this summer and has joined QPR in the Championship in England on a free transfer.
The 31-year-old left-back has reunited with former Rangers manager Mark Warburton at QPR, having been appointed in the role at the London club this summer.
QPR manager Warburton believes that Wallace was harshly treated at Rangers.
Rangers spell
Wallace joined Rangers from Heart of Midlothian back in the summer of 2011 for a transfer fee reported by The Scotsman to be worth £1.5 million.
The left-back was an important player for the Gers over the years, but this past season, he struggled for playing time and made just three appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers, and that too as substitutes, according to WhoScored.
According to The Scottish Sun, Wallace was suspended by the Rangers board last year following the 4-0 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic.
Mark Warburton comments
Warburton told The Scottish Sun: “It was unfair what happened to Lee at Rangers. It was harsh. For whatever political reason, he wasn’t playing.
“For me, Lee’s a great signing and he couldn’t be more motivated to do well for QPR. I’ve kept in touch with him since I left Rangers, as I have with Kenny, and events there hurt them.
“Lee stayed on and conducted himself wonderfully well right up to the point he left Rangers. People asked me about him and what was going on.”
