Details of the backroom staff who will join Gerrard at the Club will be announced in due course.

Chairman Dave King added: “We are delighted to confirm today that Steven Gerrard will become the next manager of Rangers.

“From the very beginning, talks have been extremely positive and we believe that Steven is the right man to drive Rangers forward.

“He was extremely impressive throughout our negotiations and we are convinced that he has the necessary knowledge and temperament to lead the Club to the success we all desire.

“This a special day for our Club, our fans and for Steven.”

Managing Director Stewart Robertson said: “We believe we have appointed the perfect man to manage our Club at this time.

“He is an exciting appointment for the Club and I believe that the Rangers support will back him as only they can.”

Director of Football Mark Allen: “From the moment we met with Steven to discuss this opportunity, we felt that his ambitions and desire to succeed equalled our own for the Club.

“Make no mistake, Steven fully understands the demands that come with managing a Club of this stature and we look forward to exciting times ahead.”

I personally wish arguably one of the best midfielders ever to grace the field on one of the hardest challenge in his finest career. Although that being if he could bring out just a glimpse of what he was capable of for the Rangers team then the league should potentially be worried. 

only time will tell if he will succeed or not.

Let me know your thoughts on this though.
