Rangers defender Lee Wallace thinks the squad rotation employed by manager Mark Warburton has been a key reason behind his side’s successful campaign thus far.
The Gers, who lost 3-2 to Falkirk last week, the club’s first defeat in 16 games in all competitions, presently find themselves 11 points clear at the top of the Scottish Championship table.
Rangers have also managed to reach the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup, where they will face Celtic at Hampden on 17th April; while Warburton’s team will play the Challenge Cup final at the same venue a week earlier.
And Wallace, whose side have been unaffected by the ongoing international break, insisted that the Rangers squad are capable of coping with the fixture congestion from now until the end of the season.
“I think the manager has used that anyway, and he’s been really, really good in terms of using the players, and that’s a key reason as to why we have been, so far, as successful as we have been and as good as we have been”, he said in his pre-match press conference, speaking about rotation.

“We know there is a long way to go however and we are facing a tough month in terms of the volume of games.”
Rangers, who are next up against Queen of the South in a home Scottish Championship fixture tomorrow, have lost just three league games in the present campaign.
