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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
