Where does he start?
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11788/11357963/the-challenge-facing-steven-gerrard-at-rangers
I'll tell you.
Step 1 - Tell the players with no future to find new clubs.
Lee Hodson, Jason Holt, Andy Halliday, Harry Forrester, Carlos Pena, Michael O'Halloran, Eduardo Herrera
Step 2 - Decisions on new contracts.
Ryan Hardie's contract expired today. Is he getting a new deal? I would hope so after his success on loan last season.
Step 3 - Who to ship out?
We've 5 keepers who could stake a first team claim if your being kind.
Kelly, i expect needs to be moved on.
Foderingham would raise the most funds, so i'd be tempted to sell him and go with McGregor as number 1. Alnwick as number 2 and McCrorie on loan to the Championship or Premiership if possible.
Question marks exist around the futures of Alves and Cardoso.
News reports yesterday were Wallace would not play for us again so sounds like he's going to be moved on.
Dodoo looked to be out the door but Gerrard seemingly in interested in holding on to him.
Step 4 - Identify targets and prioritise them.
Top target must be a young to mid 20s CB to give us a proper foundation. Goldson looks to have be identified for this position.
Then another CB as minimum with more to be recruited if Alves or Cardoso exit.
Another, yes another CM. Rossiter, McCrorie and Jack can all perform the defensive role in there but we still miss a bit of cutting edge in there Dorrans i would move up to 10 as cover for Windass at present. Docherty hasn't shown enough for me but its early days, even so he's more of a workhorse up and down CM rather than one who plays killer balls and has great vision. Rumours of that wee scrote McGeoch for this position don't fill me with hope. Maybe Arfield could be considered for this one?
A right winger, Middleton i'd like to see make a few appearances but we need to improve upon Candeias with someone who can also beat a man and provide more threat.
Then up top, we need 2 strikers for real fierce competition for places to kick Morelos on and give us genuine quality options we missed last season.
LB and RB cover too.
Just 8 more new signings i'm after
McGregor
New LB New CB New CB Tavernier
McCrorie New CM
Murphy Windass New RW
New FW
Subs
Alnwick
John
Alves/Cardoso
Rossiter
Arfield
Candeias
Morelos
I realise i'm probably asking too much but i'm hopeful, again
Step 5 - Get them on the pitch and winning games
Where to start?

Why would that be?

His counting is worse than yours
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Barton, Garner, Alnwick, Gilks, Dodoo, Rossiter Krajncar, Senderos, Windass, Hill, Hodson, Bates, Crooks and Aird plus Toral on loan all came in 2016.
I'd say that was a fairly big rebuild in 2016, wouldn't you?

McAllister 👍
So, Murty still at Rangers and going back to his old role then?

Not heard anything on Murty. I’d imagine he’s having his end of season break like the rest of Scottish fitbaw.
Rangers offered him his old role back , up to Murty what he want to do now really
