Lee Wallace says Rangers are ready for Hampden Park party

Skipper Lee Wallace insists Rangers owe it to their fans to put on a party in the Petrofac Training Cup final.

Around 48,000 Gers fans are expected to pack into Hampden Park for Sunday's showdown with League One minnows Peterhead.

The match comes just five days after the Ibrox side finally brought their four-year nightmare to an end by clinching the Championship crown and promotion back to the top flight.

But with an Old Firm battle looming in next weekend's Scottish Cup semi-final, the Light Blues could be forgiven for lacking a certain amount of excitement ahead of facing Jim McInally's men.

Wallace, however, believes the Rangers support deserve to see their team put on a show after their incredible show of support throughout the journey back from the bottom.

And he has promised to give Sunday's competition the respect it deserves by kicking off some jubilant celebrations if they come out on top this weekend.

The captain said: "We should certainly have won this competition before. This is our fourth attempt and it's been disappointing we've not been able to win it before.

"All those days ago you would have envisioned us winning three of them in consecutive seasons. That's not been the case.

"But we've finally got the chance this weekend and hopefully we will.

"It's still prestigious because when you play for Rangers it's great to win any trophy. Folk can ask if the celebrations will be muted or reserved - of course they won't be.

"We've got to grab this opportunity, no matter if it's one of the least regarded competitions. We would see that as being disrespectful. For the travelling fans, it would be only fair that if we go on to win it, we celebrate it right."
