STEVEN GERRARD insists Rangers won’t stop striving for improvement after taking ‘immense pride’ from their Europa League campaign.
The Light Blues missed out on a place in the quarter-finals after suffering a second leg defeat to Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday night.
Gerrard guided his side through for qualifying rounds, saw them progress from the group stage and then see off Braga to reach the last 16.
“We look back with immense pride, we have done ever so well,” he told RangersTV. “I think we have done the fans proud if you look at the whole journey.
“[On Thursday], maybe not so. But there is no point looking back, we need to really respect this level and individually and collectively keep trying to strive for better.
“Of course we will keep trying to add bodies into it to make us better, but every single day on the training pitch we need to keep trying to improve on the things that didn’t go well.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
