Scottish Premier League outfit Heart of Midlothian have accepted a bid from rivals Glasgow Rangers for defender Lee Wallace. The Gers had two previous bids, reportedly around £300,000 and £1m rejected for Wallace, but their third offer of £1.5m forced Hearts’ hand.
Left back Wallace is now expected to discuss personal terms with Rangers. He is a product of Hearts’ youth set up and has made over 150 appearances for the Tynecastle outfit. The 23 year old has also gone on to win five caps for the Scottish national team.
Wallace is in the last year of his contract with Hearts and although club officials had expressed their desire to tie him down to a new deal, manager Jim Jefferies had always admitted that a significant money offer would force the club to accept a bid.
