Piers Morgan has hailed Steven Gerrard as the "real deal" after the Ibrox manager guided Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title.
The Light Blues were crowned Scottish Champions with six games to spare yesterday after Celtic dropped points against Dundee United.
The title is the Gers' first in ten years and Good Morning Britain presenter Morgan has been impressed with job of Gerrard in Glasgow.
He wrote on Twitter: "Congrats to Steven Gerrard on winning the League with Rangers in Scotland & ending a decade of Celtic dominance.
"He was the real deal as a player and looks the real deal as a manager too."

Gerrard expressed his pride at what his side have achieved yesterday and the former Liverpool captain is already looking ahead to Thursday’s Europa League last-16 first-leg showdown against Slavia Prague.
“It is very difficult to put into words right now,” he told the club’s website. “It has been an incredible journey we have been on and we deserve it. I’m on a real, emotional high and it has been a journey that is not finished.

“There is more to come and the next thing for me, when you win, it is always about what is next. We are in March and I need them to keep delivering until the end of the season.
“Glasgow Rangers is about winning and we all live under that pressure, and that responsibility, but it is about what is next and it is about me getting these players ready for what is next.”
