Rangers defender Lee Wallace wants the Ibrox attacking players to be more clinical after their failure to score against Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish Premiership this past weekend.

Rangers defender Lee Wallace has admitted to The Express that he was disappointed with his side’s failure to score against Heart of Midlothian this past weekend.

The Gers played out a goalless draw with Hearts at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership last Saturday afternoon.

Wallace has admitted his frustration with the attacking players’ failure to score against Hearts.

The 30-year-old left-back, who is one of the best players in his position in the Scottish Premiership and joined Rangers from Hearts in the summer of 2011 for a transfer fee of £1.5 million – as stated on the Gers’ official website – has said that Pedro Caixinha’s side could have done better in the final third.

“It was very frustrating,” Wallace told The Express. “We feel we had the ball for long periods and probably didn’t do enough in the final third.

“We were dominant in the game but probably could have been a bit better in and around the box.

“We could have shown a bit more invention – that last pass, that bit of intricate play in or around the box – and been more aggressive in playing forward passes instead of sideways passes that allow the block to get set and make it harder to get through the opposition.”

Against Hearts, Rangers had 65% of the possession, and took 10 shots of which only two were on target, according to BBC Sport.

The Gers should have been more creative and should have also been more accurate with their shots.

Scoring goals has been an issue for Rangers so far this season, as they have found the net just four times in three Scottish Premiership games.
