The Scottish Sun reports long-serving Rangers defender Lee Wallace will sign for Queens Park Rangers tomorrow.
The 31-year-old’s Gers contract expired recently, although his departure went unrecognised by the club.

A former club captain, Wallace’s stock fell markedly over his final two seasons at Ibrox.
Injury hampered his participation in the 2017/18 season. Then, an alleged altercation with Graeme Murty led to suspensions for both himself and Kenny Miller.
While Miller moved on to pastures new, Wallace stayed and found himself on the peripheries even under Steven Gerrard.

He made just three substitute appearances last season. Therefore, he’ll be looking for the game time required to get back to his best level under former boss Mark Warburton at Loftus Road.

Wallace stood by the club in the darkest of times and was adored by the Ibrox faithful. In total, across eight years of service, he made 250 appearances for the Light Blues, netting 25 times.
He makes the journey south alongside a familiar face. Former Gers ‘keeper Liam Kelly is also set to sign tomorrow after QPR paid £50,000 to release him from his contract at Livingston.

Kelly came through the youth system and spent over a decade at Ibrox but failed to make an SPL appearance for the club.
However, the 23-year-old impressed with the Lions last season. With 14, he registered the same number of clean sheets as Allan McGregor [SPFL Stats Centre].
