Rangers captain has said that it was always apparent that Robbie Neilson would be a successful manager.

Hearts boss Neilson is poised to be named as MK Dons manager after taking charge of a final match at Tynecastle against Rangers.

Wallace, a former teammate of Neilson's, said that he saw qualities that the former defender shared with Steven Pressley and Paul Hartley, who also went on to management.

After Neilson took Hearts to the Championship title, and qualified for Europe the following season, his credentials to be a top boss were underlined.
