Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are looking to summer reinforcements.
Speaking to the club’s YouTube channel, Steven Gerrard has suggested that one trophy could open the floodgates for Rangers on a silverware front.
Gerrard is set to finish his first season at Rangers without a trophy, with the light Blues 11 points behind Premiership leaders Celtic going into the final quarter.
Gers chairman Dave King said this week that his club were in ‘tangible reach’ of being the ‘dominant force’ in Scottish football under the Liverpool icon.
Celtic are on course for a clean sweep of domestic honours for the third year in a row, with King being ridiculed on social media for his comments.
The Ibrox side haven’t won a major competition for eight years, but Gerrard, who has told King what kind of players he wants this summer, says one trophy could act as a springboard for many more.
He told a press conference on Rangers’ YouTube channel: “It’s very clear we need backing. I don’t have a magic wand and can’t turn Rangers into a dominant force overnight.
“There has been progress made in a lot of areas and I’ve also made it clear to the chairman where we need to improve in the XI and the squad.
“I believe once we that [a first taste of success] then that’ll help us grow and achieve more things together.”
It’s an exciting suggestion by Gerrard, but will they win that first trophy? It’s very possible but knocking Celtic off this perch will be very difficult.
The Hoops are on course for a third successive treble, underlining their sheer dominance in Scotland.
