STEVEN GERRARD is confident Rangers can build on their opening day win at Aberdeen when they take to an empty Ibrox on Sunday.
The Gers kicked off their campaign with an important three points last weekend as Ryan Kent netted the only goal of the game.
St Mirren are the first visitors to Ibrox in Premiership action this term but there won't be the usual fanfare to greet Gerrard and his players.
“Certainly in the league it’s been a long time since we played at Ibrox," Gerrard said.
“We’ve had some preparation games there already this season with Coventry and Motherwell, but it’s been some time since we played a competitive league match.
“The circumstances are not ideal, it’s not what we want.
“There is nothing better than a full Ibrox when the fans are behind us.
“It is what it is and we have to accept the situation in the current climate.
“We just have to get on with things and we want to put in a good performance and get a good result which the fans will be happy with.
“It’s all about building on the Aberdeen result and performance and trying to make it six out of six. That’s the plan.”
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
