As I said, scour the English Championship...

For me, that's the market you should be shopping in, and stop signing foreigners, who simply don't 'get' what it means to wear a Rangers shirt. Also, what I've always wondered (more so when he first arrived) is why didn't Gerrard himself pull on a Rangers jersey, like Souness did when he arrived, and adopt a player/manager role?
IMO, Gerrard was still young and fit enough to do so, and HE would've been just the player they needed to boot baws and instil the necessary winning mentality! Influencing things on the pitch is so much easier when you're ON it, rather than shouting from the sidelines.
