LEE WALLACE insists helping Rangers to a Premiership return is his only focus at present – and not winning back a place in the Scotland squad.

The left-back was overlooked by boss Gordon Strachan for the European Championship qualifiers with Georgia and Germany but has been backed to push for an international recall by Ibrox manager Mark Warburton.

Wallace netted his third goal of the campaign as Rangers beat Raith 5-0 on Saturday as he continued his fine start to the season.

But the Gers captain isn’t looking beyond his day-to-day responsibilities at Ibrox as Warburton’s side bid for the Championship title this term.

Wallace said: “I am not too fussed if I am being brutally honest. As long as I am enjoying, which I am, the work I am doing here every day.

“I am learning from a first class manager and a first team coach in Davie Weir. I am enjoying coming into Rangers every single day and playing for Rangers on a match day.

“In terms my football, I am really enjoying. Hopefully that will continue.

“Who knows, it (Scotland) might [come around again]. But at this moment in time, I am not thinking about that.

“I will watch the game and I watch Scotland having been involved in squads before.

“We have got a tough game on Monday but we can turn it around, and I am sure they will.

“If I am to get back involved at some point, fine. If not, I am just focused on Rangers and how well we do and recover and when we get back to where we should be playing our football.”

Wallace was joined on the score sheet by James Tavernier and Barrie McKay before Martyn Waghorn hit a penalty brace to clinch another win for Warburton’s side at Ibrox.

Rangers are now five points clear in the title race after they made it nine wins from nine games and continued their impressive run of form.

Wallace said: “We are really looking forward to every game now and we have managed to build that early momentum, which is breeding great confidence throughout the group.

“There are a lot of new guys that have come in and the transition has been really smooth, smoother that I could have imagined.

“That is down to the manager and Davie (Weir), the training, the mindset, the professionalism and the work rate and ethic in the group. It has been great to be a part of.

“We are enjoying coming in to work every day and taking to the field every Saturday.

“If we can maintain top levels and be the best we can be as individuals then every match day we are going to be really hard to stop.

“If we keep that belief, keep the momentum going, then we are going to have an enjoyable season.”
