Tierney on top of forgotten man Wallace

Yesterdays man, Lee Wallace it seems, had hoped to have gotten back into the Premiership before anyone else could develop into his position. In just 45 minutes he watched his career become pigeonholed from “Talented youth” to “Future Captain” to “Behind Tierney”. Wallace was a fine talent at Hearts and they will rue that they only ever received a CVA for his transfer. The greater loss however has been for Wallace’s career. So the question must be asked: Has the man who wants to play for life at Ibrox hit his peak?

Wallace has spent 4 wasted years in some of the most bizarre environments for a “Big Club” imaginable. Ever since his Jumper was needed for a goal post Wallace should have understood by being the big fish in the small pond, all it will do is condition him into mediocrity. His last performance was lamentable, giving away a penalty and letting in a goal in a 4-3 win over Queen of South. Scoring 4 goals everytime you lose 3 isn’t so easy in the Premiership.

Wallace and indeed Sevco are coming up to speed with relation to promotion, we will be playing in the same League next year regardless. It doesn’t matter how much they are in debt, Dave King will ticketus their money again or the fan groups will line up to milked. But when they enter the Premiership for the very first time, this new club from Govan will find things different from when its predecessor competed (with financial irregularities off the radar) before 2012 when it was liquidated.

The only shame about Sevco coming up next year is that Elbows and Boyd won’t be playing for them. Their team is untested against professionals and they are unsure as how to proceed. On one day they talk of Hearts decision to break up its squad after promotion and hear Warbo say that he wouldn’t do the same, only a few days after calling for 6 new players. But when do you ever believe anything written in the SMSM. For example, The Daily Record often compares Sevco to Real Madrid, which is a load of tosh, it is like comparing Lee Wallace to Kieran Tierney.
