STEVEN GERRARD praised his side for picking up another important three points with a 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock this afternoon.
Ryan Jack’s superb first-half strike was the difference at Ibrox as Rangers continued their 100-per-cent record at home in the Scottish Premiership.
Speaking to RangersTV after the match, Gerrard said: “It is certainly an improvement on last week, we had a few meetings early in the week to reset ourselves and I thought we were back today today in terms of owning the pitch and our organisation out of possession.
“Allan [McGregor] had a relatively quiet afternoon but I'd like us to be a bit more clinical and ruthless going forward.
“I think we created the chances but i'll never complain after a 1-0 win. It is another clean sheet and that is 14 wins out of 14 at home which is the standard and level we have been striving for so credit to the boys.
“It was a fantastic goal and deserves to win any football match, Jacko was talking in the dressing room about it being the goal of the season but I think Kamar Roofe might steal his thunder on that one.
“We've been encouraging the boys to shoot more, we don't shoot enough from the edge of the box.
“They took a lot of the information on board today and credit to them getting another win but for me that was at least a 2-0 or 3-0 win if we had gone on and took our chances it would've been a more comfortable afternoon."
With another man of the match performance Steven Davis, Gerrard was delighted with the contribution from midfield.
He continued: “Davis was magnificent today, his anticipation and the way he controls games allows us to keep going in terms of wave after wave.
“He plays with real authority and leadership but in a quiet way and he sets standards on a daily basis that everyone else follows so I have been absolutely delighted with Steven.
“We have missed Ryan Jack, he plays with personality, he is a fighter and a warrior in there and he can play with quality - they complement each other really well.
“Glen Kamara obviously we never used today but he is another top one who can complement them. It is a fantastic midfield three but at home we want to be a bit more aggressive, a bit more bold and that's the reason why we decided to go with Aribo.”
With Rangers back in UEFA Europa League action on Thursday, Gerrard says the squad are in a good place as they prepare for the next challenge.
He added: “We are in a fantastic place and we want the players to try and enjoy this.
“We realise it is a really critical and important time but we want them to pump their chests out and really enjoy this journey and the story they are creating so far.
“The squad's getting healthier, Alfredo and Kamar are available on Thursday and then Alfredo is available next week too. Defoe has had a couple of sessions and we used Arfield today just to give him a taste of it.
“We are in a good place and we just need to take each challenge as it comes now but it’s very positive for us.”
