Speaking to RangersTV, Steven Gerrard has assessed his squad’s progress following the recent hit out against Mansfield Town.
The Gers rounded off a week-long training camp in the Algarve with a 2-0 win. More importantly, though, almost every member of the party played some part across the 90 minutes.
It was the first of many pre-season workouts, but the manager is pleased with how things have panned out so far.
“It has been a fantastic week and the boys have applied themselves very well and we are probably slightly ahead of where I thought we would be right now,” Gerrard told RangersTV.
“It has been two strong weeks. I missed a few days of the first week as I was on a course, but I watched the sessions back and the first week was strong.”
“Again, they have raised the bar and they have put in more distance this week and the quality is getting better while we are adding quality to it and a few more signings will come through the door.”
Verdict
Last week, the manager claimed he would be satisfied if Rangers were able to bring in one more body – a centre-back [Evening Times].
Based on these latest comments, though, circumstances have changed.
It now looks like multiple new additions will be arriving over the coming weeks. Several deals must be in the pipeline, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been confident enough to mention them on interview.
Will Bears get another out and out striker? Perhaps a new specialist left-back? Either way, there’s cause for excitement here.
