Stephen Gerrard kicks off managerial carrier with a win

Steven Gerrard took charge of his first match as Rangers manager on Tuesday as he led his team to a 3-1 win over The New Saints behind closed doors.

Rangers overcame the Welsh champions TNS in Gerrard's first game as Ibrox boss thanks to goals from Serge Atakayi, Jamie Murphy and Ross McCrorie.

Gerrard has now ordered his Rangers players to use their final pre-season friendly against Bury on Friday to secure Europa League starting slots.
