Steven Gerrard will take of his first ever Scottish League for Rangers FC this weekend when the Light Blues travel to Pittodrie in order to take on last year’s runners-up Aberdeen.
So far Steven Gerrard has made ten new signings and also offloaded a number of players who were useless last season.
And before the Gers took on NK Osijek in their Europa League qualifiers the new boss has revealed why has made so many signings during the summer transfer window and has also hinted that the club’s spending spree is not over.
Talking to the press Gerrard said:
“I think we are a different team and a different squad from last year in terms of strength in depth. We have tried to move people on and tried to add quality.

“We have tried to add players that are hungry and players that are capable of delivering under pressure and with that expectation.
“The idea is to try and have two good players in every position and we are not far away from that. It is no secret that we are trying to add a couple more pieces to the jigsaw, but I think what you’ll find now watching Rangers is we are a different team from last year. We’ll have a different bench and we’ll also have options that don’t even make the 18.
“That tells me we are healthy, we are good and we have a good, strong group of players.
“What I can assure you is the mentality will be strong this year because I will only have players and characters that want to fight, want to win and are hungry to come and play football.
“Yes, I want them to enjoy it and be free and express themselves, but I want winners all over the pitch and I want winners on my bench and I want winners who are pushing the people in front of them.
“That for me means you have a good mentality in the group.”
