STEVEN GERRARD has reaffirmed his commitment to Rangers and vowed to continue to fight to realise his 'dream' of delivering silverware success.

The 39-year-old cast doubt over his future with an emotional press conference following the Scottish Cup defeat to Hearts.

Gerrard insisted on Tuesday he had never considered his position at Ibrox, though, and said: "Listen, I want to win here. It’s a dream of mine to win here.

"Before I kicked a ball as a professional with Liverpool it was a dream to win with Liverpool.

"I sacrificed my life to do that and when I signed on the dotted line to represent Rangers as the leader of this team that’s what I committed to.

"You will see smiles, you will see emotion, you will see me a bit low, you will see me going over the top, you will see me a bit flat.

"You know what? Get used to it. That’s the package, I’m not going to change for anyone, I’m going to be myself. But when I sign up for something I stay loyal and true to that. I won’t shirk or hide from any win, loss or draw.

"I will continue to push and do everything I can from my side to achieve my own personal goals, but more importantly to make these fans happy.

"Before I decided to do that I thought long and hard about how it might feel, what type of journey and track it might take. I haven’t been surprised by it.

"I still believe we are closer than some of the opinion out there believes. But I also believe that these players need some help and support. Everyone from top to bottom of the club needs to continue to push to support that and be as hungry as each other to get there. And we will."

Rangers are set to finish the season without any silverware once again this term but do have a Europa League clash with Bayer Leverkusen next week.

And Gerrard remains as determined as ever to continue the progress he has made during his spell as Ibrox boss.

Gerrard said: "We seek counsel on a daily basis. You should be in our room, honestly.

"We test and challenge each other on a daily basis. We push each other. I don’t think I’m at the stage where I need to seek counsel from my staff. I put them around me for a reason – solid support – that’s never changed and it never will change.

"I’ll never quit. I’ll never shirk a challenge or run away when I sign up for something.

"I’ll fight as hard as I can for as long as I can. If that situation changes for other people and other people take that away from me, that’s a different scenario totally but, as far as me and my staff are concerned, all our sleeves are rolled up further than they were before and we’ll continue to push."
