DEAN SHIELS is confident Steven Gerrard is the man to bring title glory back to Rangers and stop Celtic's run of Premiership triumphs.
The 39-year-old has seen his silverware ambitions suffer a series of blows in recent weeks as the Gers have fallen adrift at the top of the table.
Shiels was part of Mark Warburton's side that clinched the Championship crown to get Rangers back into the Premiership and the Northern Irishman is sure Gerrard can deliver that much coveted league flag.
Shiels told the fourladshadadream podcast: “I think he is brilliant. Obviously he hasn’t won anything yet, but I am sure that will come.
“I think he gets it. Some managers come into Rangers or some people come to the club and they don’t get it and they struggle.
“But I think he understands what the club are about and they are improving. Since Christmas it has dipped a bit, but if you look at the overall picture we are getting there closer.
“And I definitely think he is the man to push us on to get that next title. Will it be this year? I hope so. But, if not, I would expect them to do it next year.”
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
