Many of the questions surrounding Steven Gerrards arrival in Glasgow were around the fact he was taking on such a big job for his first in management.
Elements of risk were mentioned in abundance, both for Gerrard and for Rangers.
His first two games in charge were Europa League qualifiers, given the Ibrox sides third-placed finish last season in the Scottish Premiership.
An opening at home to Macedonian side FK Shkupi was to be the first test of Gerrards credentials as a manager.
Rangers won the home leg at Ibrox 2-0, while the second leg, played a week later in Macedonia, finished goalless.
Here I take a look at the positives and areas to work on for the former Liverpool captain.
Steven Gerrard Tactical Set up
Rangers set up in a 4-3-3 base structure with a big emphasis on occupying the central area.
Combination play looks to be a big part of the Gerrard style, as James Tavernier, Josh Windass, who occupies the right-sided eight area in the starting position, and Daniel Candeias combine down the right side often during the game.
