STEVEN GERRARD has thanked chairman Dave King for his support at Ibrox after he announced he will step down from the boardroom next year.
King will remain in position until March before he hands over the Rangers reigns and brings an end to his five-year spell at the helm.
Gerrard attended his second Annual General Meeting as manager on Tuesday morning and is grateful for the support structure that he has on and off the park.
He said: “The team are in a good place, we have been trying to build a team that is capable of competing at the top end of the league and domestically in the cup competitions, whilst also putting on a good show in Europe as well. That is a challenge.

“But what I would say is that I have had fantastic support from Dave and the board and, even closer on a daily basis, from Stewart and Andrew and I am obviously starting a new relationship with Ross, who I must say has come in with a bundle of energy and with great knowledge.
“I am sure he will be a big support to me and my staff moving forward. It is a good time, an exciting time and we need to keep pushing.
“You need to keep supporting us in the way you do, which is fantastic. For me, it is absolutely game on and I can’t wait for those games that you have mentioned.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
