Rangers boss Steven Gerrard tips his former club Liverpool to mount a title challenge next season.

Steve Gerrard has backed his former club Liverpool to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

The Rangers boss believes that the Reds have made enough progress under manager Jurgen Klopp to launch a bid for first place in 2018-19.

"I think Liverpool are very close, I think they are knocking on the door," Gerrard told PA.

"I am delighted with where Liverpool are right now. Of course I wanted them to win the Champions League and I'm disappointed they never [did] but when you look at the big picture - and the journey they are on - it is a very exciting time being part of this Liverpool setup.

"They have a terrific manager leading the charge and they have started making improvements and as a fan and an ex-player it is great to see."

Liverpool, who have never won the Premier League, finished in fourth place last season.
