And, as Celtic celebrated lifting their seventh Premiership title in a row, Gerrard issued a warning to Brendan Rodgers that life is about to get tougher for them.

Gerrard said: "Celtic have had it their own way for far too long. This is a massive opportunity for myself and Gary McAllister to go to a huge football club and try to improve things in Glasgow.

"We go up to Glasgow and we will give it our best.

"Liverpool have been fantastic because they actually came to me and said that Rangers would like the opportunity to speak to me.

"I asked them what they thought and they have since given me every bit of support that I needed to go and take the challenge on. I go with Liverpool's blessings."

Gerrard has spent the last few days in the Gulf at a LFC World event and will travel to Kiev for the Champions League Final as part of his TV duties before taking charge at Rangers.

And he pointed out, in a beach hotel Question and Answer session, that Rangers support is set to significantly increase.

He said: "Every fan I have bumped into since the news broke are now officially Rangers fans too so that's been a huge boost for me too.

"I have had so many good luck wishes and messages and it has been really great for me."

And Gerrard stressed he wants to play attacking football when he moves to Scottish football next season.

He's promised Rangers fans he wants to play the game in the same swashbuckling style as his mentor Jurgen Klopp, who he has learned under as Liverpool Under 18s manager.

Gerrard stated: "When you look at the style of football that Jurgen Klopp plays, I think every fan in the world loves watching that.

"He's been absolutely massive for the club. What he does is he speaks honestly and truthfully. When you see a manager speak, you don't want someone to pretend or bat back any question. He answers every single question with honesty and truth and that's what we are about.

"It's one of his values that I hope to take."
