Steven Gerrard unveiled as Rangers manager
The former England captain signed a four-year-deal with the club
Gerrard said at his Ibrox press conference: "I'm very aware of Rangers, the size of the club, I've watched them from afar and been lucky enough to watch some of the Old Firm games.
"It was a no-brainer for me. There were a lot of different things to think about but from that first phone call I got a special feeling and I knew that Rangers were for me.'
Asked about being a managerial novice, Gerrard said: "I can't do anything about having no experience. There is only one way to get experience - to believe you have the right characteristics to take on a challenge and confront it.
"In football if you're working under pressure, you're in a good place. I've missed that pressure of fighting for three points.
"I know there will be a lot of pressure and a lot of scrutiny but that's what I love about football.'
Gerrard said he will give himself some time in the role before he starts making changes.
"Stability is the key and I want to give these supporters an exciting team and a winning team and one to be proud of,'' he said.
"I need to get my feet in the door and teeth into the job before I work out where we need to improve.''
When asked if he was confident in his move being a success, Gerrard said: "I'm confident or I wouldn't be sitting in this seat.
"If I didn't have confidence in myself and my staff and the board I wouldn't have come here.
"In terms of targets, i just want to win football matches. That's my buzz.'
Gerrard was asked whether he had spoken to Celtic boss Rodgers before accepting the post.
"I haven't spoken to Brendan regarding this role, but me and Brendan are fine, we always have been fine,'' he said.
"I've spoken to close friends and family, people in the game that I'm tight with.
"This opportunity doesn't come around all the time - clubs with this size, stature and history. I believe I can come in and make these fans happy.''
Chairman King said Gerrard "ticked every box'' other than experience.
"A lot of the other managers who have been named, they have had experience but that experience was not necessarily good,'' he said.
"Steven's character outweighed his inexperience.'
