Gerrard on the ‘send-off’ he gave ex-Celtic star Sviatchenko as Rangers beat Midtjylland STEVEN GERRARD has played down an alleged coming together with ex-Celtic star Erik Sviatchenko. The Rangers boss exchanged words with the defender after sweeping aside FC Midtjylland at Ibrox. He said: “‘I just wished him all the best for the remainder of the season. “He had obviously been speaking quite a lot through the media over where he is from. “So it was just a little send-off for him." Gers announced the season-long loan capture of Andy King from Leicester just minutes after setting up a Europa League play-off against Legia Warsaw. And Gerrard thanked Brendan Rodgers for allowing the midfielder to become his TENTH signing of the summer. He said: “We thank Leicester for the opportunity because you and I know from a financial situation there is no way in the world we can bring Premier League players in here. “The opportunity to get Andy came up in the last 24 hours and I jumped at the chance for numerous reasons. “One, he is a winner, a Premier League winner. One, because he has had numerous caps at international level. “Over the course of the last 14 months I have been trying to build a squad but a lot of the guys are very young – they need leadership and guidance in the dressing room. “So It was a no brainer. “Financially was well, it made total sense. It is a season long loan, I think Leicester have got a call back on it, but it will be a season long loan.” Gerrard also quelled injury fears over goal hero Alfredo Morelos, saying: “He's very tough. I think he's took a bit of a whack but I've just asked him how he is and he thinks he will be fine." Meanwhile FC Midtjylland boss Kenneth Andersen believes Rangers will be too good for Legia in the play off round - backing Gers for a return to the Group Stages. He confessed: “It was a tough night for my team, but congratulations to Rangers because over the two games they have been much more sharper than us. “They have shown their qualities over the two games. “I believe Rangers can go far for sure, they have a very good squad.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4610001/erik-sviatchenko-steven-gerrard-rangers-celtic/

I actually thought both were excellent, as for the goal Katic had to go out to try and block the cross after a mistake from Flanagan, Goldson got beat at the front post! 3 mistakes?

Lifted from FF: Alfredo Morelos has moved into the top 10 list of Rangers all-time European goalscorers.McCoist (21), Brand, Albertz (12), Scott, Millar, Novo, morelos (11), Wilson, Henderson, Stein, MacDonald (10).

Exactly what the manager wanted and got when he signed his players

I believe he is one booking away from a suspension
