STEVEN GERRARD hopes he can repay the Ibrox board for their backing by delivering success at Rangers this season.
Chairman Dave King was in the stands to see the Gers beat Rapid Vienna on Thursday night and move top of Group G in the Europa League.
The South Africa-based businessman backed Gerrard significantly in the transfer market this summer and had dinner with the 38-year-old last night.
Now the Light Blues boss wants to give the directors a reason to be cheerful as he looks to build on a solid start to his first campaign in the dugout.
Gerrard said: “Dave King and the board have been tremendous towards me and my staff — hopefully we can reward them with success at the end of the season. That’s the challenge, that’s the aim.
“I’m sure they are pleased, I’m sure they can see it moving forward in the right direction. We just have to obviously try to calm expectations moving forward, because after results like [Thursday] night it goes a little bit over the top.
“That happens the same after Livingston, people think it’s the end of the world after the one result. So yeah, the board is fine, everything is good.”
