ROSS MCCRORIE hopes the arrival of Steven Gerrard at Ibrox can help take his game to the next level – no matter what position he plays next season.

The goal capped another encouraging performance from McCrorie in what has been an impressive debut campaign for the Light Blues.

McCrorie has been used in defensive and midfield roles over the course of the season and was rewarded with a new long-term deal in December.

The appointment of Gerrard has given everyone at Ibrox a shot in the arm ahead of his start in a couple of weeks and McCrorie is eager to catch the eye of the Liverpool legend.

He said: “In every game, I go out and try and do my best for the team and I am sure that is the same for every other player. I don’t think that will impact on any of the players. Obviously it is a motivation for everyone to show the new manager coming in that they are worthy of a place next season.
