Rangers boss Steven Gerrard insists that he will be in on Ibrox after hailing the support he has received from President Dave King.
The former Liverpool skipper was named for a four-year contract in the summer and made an impressive start in his rookie year as a manager.
His team can reach the top of the Ladbrokes Premier League on Sunday with a win over Hearts, while still looking for the last 32 games of the European League before Thursday's showdown with Villarreal.
Gerrard insists that all this would not be possible without the support of King, Football Director Mark Allen, General Manager Stewart Robertson and the rest of the Light Blues Board of Directors.
And he says he's looking forward to a long partnership together.
Gerrard at the Annual General Meeting of the Rangers International Football Club at Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium said: "I would like to thank Dave for the support he has given me since the first day and the rest of the board of Directors.
"They really supported me, as well as my staff, and I would like to thank Mark and Stewart, with whom I work daily.
"Without the support behind me and my coaching staff, we could not have achieved what we have so far.
"I can assure everyone that we will devote all the time and effort needed to advance the club on the field and that we will continue to try to attract the best players possible to help bring success back to the table." this incredible club. .
"I feel so good being here as a manager. I hope to stay here a very long time and share some great times together. "
Gerrard, however, was forced to defend the club's behavior against former skipper Lee Wallace after the angry shareholder hit him with the "disgusting" treatment of his left-back.
Wallace was dismissed as a captain after an argument with his acting boss, Graeme Murty, following the hammering of the Scottish 4-0 Rangers Cup by Celtic last season.
Wallace – who was blocked by the club as a result of the liquidation – has only made one replacement this season while he continues to struggle with an injury.
But Gerrard said, "I have to pay tribute to Lee for his professionalism as he tries to get in shape.
"To be honest, it's still part of the projects while he's here, but I have better options in that position.
"My relationship with Lee is fine. He trains with us every day and strives to find his place in the team. "
