Lee Wallace admits that he is envious of Celtic's Champions League group but is hopeful of leading his Rangers side out in the competition next season.

Rangers captain Lee Wallace has expressed his desire to lead the Light Blues out in the Champions League next season.

The 29-year-old admitted that he was envious of Old Firm rivals Celtic playing in Europe's premier club competition and taking on the likes of Barcelona.

Wallace told Sky Sports News: "I'm watching Barcelona-Manchester City last night and of course there is envy there. You want to be playing at those levels.

"That's why I came to this club. That's why a number of guys have signed for this club. As a Rangers player that's where you want to be.

"But we know how we're going to get there. It will take hard work but hopefully this time next season we're in a similar position."

Gers trail Brendan Rodgers's side by seven points in the Scottish Premiership, having played a game more.
