LEE WALLACE has announced his retirement from football.
The former Rangers, Hearts and Scotland defender has called time on his career after making 475 professional appearances.
Wallace was capped 10 times for his country and scored 30 goals over the course of his career.
The 35-year-old was most recently plying his trade for QPR in the English Championship but was released this summer.
Wallace spent eight years at Ibrox and played a key role as the Govan outfit completed their journey back to top flight.
Wallace's wife announced the news on Twitter, saying: "475 professional club appearances, 30 career goals, 10 Scotland caps.
"Not bad for a young boy from Carrick Knowe! We are all so proud and enjoying having you home for a much deserved break and family time before the next step into coaching when the time is right."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
