Rangers today confirmed former Liverpool and England midfielder Steven Gerrard as their new manager, announcing he would join the Scottish Premiership club this summer on a four-year deal.
Gerrard, who has previously only worked with Liverpool's Under-18s, faces a daunting task in trying to compete with Old Firm rivals Celtic, who have just sealed their seventh consecutive title.
"I am honoured to become the next manager of Rangers," the 37-year-old said in a statement on the club's website.
"I have enormous respect for this football club, and its history and tradition.
"I can't wait to start this new journey at Rangers as we look to build on the many successes that this club has achieved."
"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."
