Steven Gerrard posted an emotional tribute to the Rangers fans and hoped they understood his decision to move on after leaving the Scottish club to take over at Aston Villa on Thursday.
Gerrard departs Ibrox after just over three years having won the Scottish Premiership during an unbeaten campaign last season, and impressing in the Europa League.
But the Liverpool legend has opted for a new challenge in the Premier League with Villa, signing a three-and-a-half year deal, but penned a 'heartfelt' thank you message to the Rangers fans on his Instagram page.
