The former Liverpool and England captain has penned a four year deal with Rangers.
With Rangers struggling to make ground against old firm rivals Celtic and a possible fourth place finish to this year’s league campaign, is Gerrard the right man for the job?
Steven Gerrard said: “I am honoured to become the next manager of Rangers. I have enormous respect for this football club, and its history and tradition.
Details of the backroom staff who will join Gerrard at the Club will be announced in due course.
Chairman Dave King added: “We are delighted to confirm today that Steven Gerrard will become the next manager of Rangers.
“From the very beginning, talks have been extremely positive and we believe that Steven is the right man to drive Rangers forward.
“He was extremely impressive throughout our negotiations and we are convinced that he has the necessary knowledge and temperament to lead the Club to the success we all desire.
“This a special day for our Club, our fans and for Steven.”
