Scott Arfield and Allan McGregor are among the players who consistently impress in training sessions for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.
Gerrard signed all four of the experienced players to set the standards for the rest of their Rangers teammates.
And Gerrard says that the quartet always catch his eye in Rangers training, as they are such good professionals.
“I always look for the pillars in my dressing room,” he said. “Scott Arfield would definitely come into that bracket and the likes Steven Davis, Jermaine Defoe and Allan McGregor.
“When I tried to put this squad together it was important that I had a spine throughout the squad that had experience and that had know-how to help me manage the dressing room not just on a match day but on a daily basis. I can’t ask any more of them.
“These are the ones that set the standard in training and set the standard on a match day and help me manage the club by setting the right example on and off the pitch. I am lucky to have such experienced players and such good people as well.”
Rangers will be wanting their experienced players to step up this evening, as they face a tough test in the Europa League.
Steven Gerrard’s men are set to take on Feyenoord at Ibrox, in what will be a real test of Rangers’ quality.
Rangers failed to make it out of their group in the Europa League last term, and their challenge of progressing to the knockout stages looks even tougher this time around.
Rangers’ form at Ibrox is likely to be crucial, so they will be hoping to get off to a winning start this evening.
Gerrard’s men also have drawn Porto and Young Boys, in what looks to be a particularly tough group draw.
