Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has ruled out leaving the Ibrox side. 

Speculation was rife after the manager admitted he was considering his future after Saturday's Scottish Cup exit at the hands of Hearts.

But the manager has since revealed he plans to stay on. 

Ahead of tomorrow's match with Hamilton, he said: "I am all in, I signed up to something here and I knew there would be real setbacks and this is when the club needs me most to stay on, fight and push forward on the progress we have made in a lot of areas whilst learning to ensure the mistakes don't happen again.

"I self-reflect, what I can and need to do better. I think if you want to survive at this level you have to bounce back."

He added: "Saturday was a low and I won't deny that. I will always be honest.

"We are always going to be challenged here.

"My job is to find solutions that give us long-term success.

"Right now I have to identify why we go from Braga's performance to 72 hours later not doing justice but that is an exciting challenge for me. I don't fear that challenge."

Gerrard continued: "I thought about where we are and what needs to be done.

"The short-term is to get the players ready for tomorrow and to get to the International break in the best stage.

"Then in the summer we will sit down with the right people and discuss how we move forward together.

"I'm sure the players like myself have done more thinking than sleeping since the weekend, it will be interesting to see the reaction from the players.

"We need to know who is on board and who is prepared to fight harder than ever. We all let the support down at the weekend.

"There is a real desire within the group of course until we go on and win something there will always be questions asked of the group.

"We are all playing for our futures at the club."

The Ibrox boss also revealed Alfredo Morelos has been punished after arriving back to Glasgow late having been granted permission to travel to Colombia.

He was left out of the squad against Hearts as a result.

Gerrard added: "Alfredo Morelos is available for selection, he has been disciplined internally and accepted this and we move forward.

"It is important we are not stubborn here and we move on after these situations are dealt with strongly which it has been."
