Rangers boss Gerrard frustrated after Liverpool U23 draw

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard was furious after seeing his players draw in a friendly with Liverpool's U23s.

The Anfield youngsters were 4-0 up at half-time against Gerrard's side in Scotland, and it was only when the former Reds captain introduced younger players at the break that they turned the game around, drawing 4-4.

"Well I think it's a few different reasons (that the game was arranged) really, the first was to give people game-time who haven't played as much," Gerrard told Rangers TV.

"First half was an embarrassment and the second half was fantastic. It was a very useful exercise for different reasons but in terms of us as staff, we learnt so much about the players individually."
