Steven Gerrard’s backroom staff has continued to take shape with Liverpool fitness coach Jordan Milsom confirming he has followed Gerrard north of the border – and Gers fans have expressed their joy over the news.
Milson confirmed on his personal Twitter account that he would be leaving Anfield after eight years to take up a “new challenge” at Ibrox.
Would like to say a huge thank you and goodbye to all of those special people I’ve worked with at LFC for the past 8 years. It was a privilege to work for my boyhood club. Now on to a new challenge working for Rangers FC. 🔴⚪️🔵

Gers fans were excited to see another piece fall into place as Gerrard’s reign gets underway and were quick to welcome Milsom to Ibrox – with one saying “hopefully you can get Jordan Rossiter to stay fit for the season because the boy’s a player.”
Here are some of their comments on Twitter:
