STEVEN Gerrard says he is "ready to go again" just days after he admitted he was considering his future as Rangers boss.
It has been an uncertain period for Gers fans after their gaffer admitted had never felt lower and had some serious thinking to do in the wake of the Scottish Cup defeat to Hearts.
But whatever has been going through his mind in the last 24-48 hours, Gerrard insists he has refocused and is good to go again for tomorrow night's home game against Hamilton.
He said: "I'm good. Ready for the next challenge which is Hamilton tomorrow.
"The game at the weekend was bitterly disappointing, I have done some real thinking with the people around me and I'm ready to go again.
"Even before Christmas I knew this squad needed help and support, to create and produce a winning team you have to strengthen constantly.
"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."
UNCERTAIN TIMES AT IBROX
Gerrard was speaking at the end of a weekend of huge uncertainty for the Ibrox side.
A 1-0 Scottish Cup quarter final defeat to Hearts left them with just the Europa League and the Premiership as the 39-year-old bids to avoid the ignominy of two trophy-less seasons.
Rangers face Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 of the Europa League, and are already 12 points behind league leaders in the Premiership table.
I need to do some real serious thinking in the next 24-48 hours
Steven Gerrard after Rangers' defeat to Hearts
The former Liverpool star admitted he was considering his future after Olly Bozanic's second half goal condemned Rangers to defeat.
The gutted Gers gaffer said he had never felt lower and vowed to think long and hard about things over the coming days.
He said: “I need to do some real serious thinking in the next 24-48 hours.
“I just need to think, I am feeling pain right now because I want to win here.

“I am desperate to win here, but looking from the side today I didn't get the impression that the feeling among my players was the same."
Gerrard officially became Rangers boss on June 1 2018 - his first big-time role in senior management after leaving his position as youth coach at Liverpool.
His four-year deal was announced a month earlier following the sacking of interim manager Graeme Murty.
