Hearts blast Gers' Wallace bid
Hearts have rejected Rangers' offer for Scotland defender Lee Wallace and labelled the champions' opening bid as "derisory".[LNB] Gers are believed to have offered £300,000 for the 23-year-old, a fee described as "well, well short" of the player's value by Jim Jefferies.[LNB]Wallace has just 12 months on his contract but Jefferies has not given up hope of keeping him at Tynecastle.[LNB]"I don't know the exact figures involved but I do know our people regard the offer Rangers made as derisory," said Jefferies.[LNB]"Let's just say it's well, well short of the value we would place on an international like Lee.[LNB]"He is an outstanding player. We know he's in the final year of his contract and we hope to extend it but that will be up to the player to decide.[LNB]"Lee was very unlucky with injury last season but he's fit again and started pre-season training today.[LNB]"I know when bids are made for players you have to take their contractual situation into account but even so, Rangers' offer was miles short of what is acceptable."
