STEVEN GERRARD has thanked Rangers fans for their warm welcome to the club and says he is ‘desperate’ to get started.
The former England and Liverpool captain starts his first job in senior football management tomorrow when he takes the helm at Ibrox.
In a message on the Rangers website, Gerrard said: “Tomorrow, June 1, is the day I have been waiting for and I am absolutely desperate to get started officially in my role as the manager of Rangers Football Club. Just saying that excites and motivates me so much.
“Although the players won’t report back from their breaks until later this month I am looking forward to meeting them and also welcoming some new faces to this fantastic club.”
Gerrard adds that he has been working on plans and strategy for the new season with his backroom team and director of football Mark Allen.
He also details his plans to take the squad on a pre-season training camp in Spain ahead of Europa League qualifiers in July.
The 37-year-old adds: “I must say that I have already had such a warm welcome from supporters across the world and this has served to confirm my belief that it’s the fans who make this football club great.
“Everything we do will be for them. It’s time now…let’s go.”
