Rangers legend Paul Gascoigne has revealed he spoke to Steven Gerrard after his contract extension and is confident the Ibrox boss is in it for "the long haul".
It was confirmed on Friday that Gerrard has extended his contract until 2024, having taken his side into the Europa League knockout rounds and the Betfred Cup final.
Sunday's 2-0 win over Motherwell ensured they remain two points behind Celtic at the top of the Premiership, and Gazza believes the Liverpool legend's commitment is clear.
Gascoigne told the BBC: "I asked him what it was like when he got the call and he said 'it's so exciting'. He's in it for the long haul, and why not?
"He's a good manager and obviously he's got the respect of the players.
"Obviously we'll see what happens this season. They've got to try and stop Celtic doing nine-in-a-row. It'll be a tough run in.
"Hopefully [they can win it]. I always think whoever beats who - if Celtic beat Rangers four times then obviously they're going to win it.
"Rangers have got to pick their game up, they won today 2-0 (against Motherwell), it's going to be tight right to the end again."
