da leao: As reported by The Daily Record, new Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is set to decide on the future of club captain Lee Wallace this week after the player’s high profile falling out with the hierarchy at Ibrox.
What’s the story?
da esport bet: Wallace was suspended and fined for his part in a dressing room bust-up with manager Graeme Murty after a Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic, something which he has subsequently appealed with the SPFL.
Now his playing future at Ibrox is set to be resolved this week, say The Daily Record, with manager Steven Gerrard expected to come to a decision after meeting with Rangers officials this Wednesday.
Will the 30-year-old have opportunities at the Light Blues next season, or is he on his way out?

Would Rangers miss him?
Wallace has been a devoted servant to Rangers up to this point, staying with the club even as they made their way up through the lower leagues after financial calamity in 2012.
With over 250 appearances for the club, there are some who may say he deserves a second chance at Ibrox after his ill-discipline.
However, even if his relationship with decision makers at the club was 100% healthy, his place in the Ranegrs starting eleven is questionable after the emergence of Declan John last season.
The signing from Cardiff City impressed consistently throughout 2017/18 and is well placed to retain his starting spot in the team next term.
Gerrard won’t want members of the dressing room undermining his authority either, meaning Wallace’s future is in serious doubt at Rangers.
This week could be an interesting one.
