Graham Roberts has backed boss Steven Gerrard to bolster his Rangers side as they seek back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles.

Rangers stopped arch-rivals Celtic from being crowned champions for a 10th consecutive season by finishing top of the pile last term.

Rather than resting on his laurels, former Liverpool captain Gerrard has made it his mission to ensure his side dominates the Scottish top flight for a second campaign in succession.

Gerrard has been linked with making a move for 23-year-old Vitesse Arnhem defender Danilho Doekhi, while Dutch midfielder Joey Veerman has criticised his current club, Heerenveen, for potentially pricing Rangers out of lodging a bid for his services.

Although Gerrard is keen to strengthen his squad, Rangers' title win has resulted in clubs taking an interest in their stars.

The Gers have reportedly rejected a bid from Cagliari for Alfredo Morelos and Finland international Glen Kamara is being tracked by West Ham United and Everton.

Roberts, who had a two-year spell at Ibrox during his playing days, insists Rangers are in a strong position ahead of the new season getting underway.

He exclusively told The Transfer Tavern: "Rangers proved last year they were the best team and it's up to everybody to catch up now.

"I'm sure Steven will have a few names on the list to bring in and hopefully he does."
