ONE medal was never enough for Steven Gerrard as a player. One title is not going to be enough for him as a manager.

A career spent at the highest levels of the game allowed Gerrard to compete for, and in most cases win, some of the most sought-after silverware in football.

There was one, of course, that eluded him at Liverpool. In May, Gerrard finally became a champion as he guided Rangers to the Premiership title.

That 55th league flag will always be historic at Ibrox but the end of 'The Journey' for Rangers and their supporters is only just the start for the man who has transformed the club on and off the park.

"I hadn't won for a long time," Gerrard told ESPN. "For the majority of my career, I had always competed at the back end of seasons to try to win trophies, but it has been well documented that I never won the Premier League as a player and then I went off to LA and started doing my coaching badges at Liverpool's youth team, so a lot of time had passed by without the opportunity to compete.

"I took this job just over three years ago now and it gave me the opportunity again to try to compete and get that winning feeling back from a personal point of view.

"And the wait was certainly worth it because it felt ever so good [to win the title]. It was a big relief, obviously, to get that first big trophy in the bag, but just reminiscing and thinking back over my playing career, to feel that winning feeling again and get a winners' medal over your neck, it was absolutely top class.

"But if you look at previous managers here, like Graeme Souness, Walter Smith and the guys that have gone before me, one trophy is never enough. The demand and responsibility is always to add to the success."

A campaign that could have been historic for Celtic as they chased ten-in-a-row was ultimately emotional for Rangers as a first title in a decade was secured in emphatic fashion.

Rangers are now the champions rather than the challengers. The power base in Glasgow has shifted, but Gerrard's demands and standards will never diminish.

"I think at Rangers you are always trying to reset the remit," he said. "Since I first came here, we have completed a lot of the challenges that were set for me, my staff and the players, but the goalposts always move at a club that has experienced the kind of success that Rangers have.

"We've had incredible success, we made history last year, but it's about parking that up now and looking to build on that.

"I think this job comes with huge pressure every single season, no matter whether it is a success.

"There are always things to improve on, you always reset and get ready to go again. The pressure never changes, I don't feel under any other pressure than I did on day one really.

"My job every day comes with that responsibility to try to make this club better, and keep striving for success.

"We've got targets now set for the end of the season and that is to try to be as dominant as we can and get as much silverware we can to add to last year."

The man that became a legend in Liverpool is now a God in Glasgow. Gerrard's place in Rangers' folklore is forever enshrined and secured.

His efforts at Ibrox have attracted admiring glances from south of the border but he remains as committed and driven as ever to savour success with Rangers.

Gerrard said: "I can't control any media speculation about my position. I don't welcome it, I don't add to it.

"All I do is focus on the job I have here and I'm very flattered and grateful for the position.

"I'm very happy here, I've said it on numerous occasions, it's a huge club, I'm settled, I'm happy and I can continue to develop and keep trying to push this team forward."
