Quality over quantity in King meeting

-

be prioritisi­ng quality over quantity this time around.

“There won’t be wholesale changes this summer,” added Gerrard. “When I first arrived, I came into a broken dressing room with cliques, problems and issues. It was very important to make a lot of changes, freshen it up and provide a base we could build from and move forward.

“I think we have achieved that but it’s very clear now that it’s about quality. It’s not about adding players for the sake of it. We need to bring in a higher level of player, to give us more firepower and better numbers in the top end of the pitch. That’s where we have fallen a bit short at times this season.

“There are challenges which come with doing that and one of those is obviously financial. We have to wait and see what is available. There might be movement out of our squad and we have to wait and see what comes from that.

“You always want to keep your best players but is something comes in that makes my eyebrows lift, where I can maybe move someone on who I think we can cope without and maybe strengthen in a more important area, that’s where Mark and myself have to juggle about a bit and find solutions.

“The other challenge is getting the right players in. Are they available, can we afford them and do they see this as an exciting challenge they want to be part of?

“I look forward to sitting down with Dave and the board in the weeks before the end of the season to see where we are, what the situation is and we will go from there.”

Rangers chairman Dave King will head to Glasgow.
