Steven Gerrard says he could hardly have asked for any more from Rangers during his time in Scotland.
However the former Ibrox boss admits he was slightly frustrated by their approach to the summer transfer market, insisting he wanted to "go for it" and leave Celtic in their wake.
Gerrard led Rangers to a famous 55th league title last season but after only adding to the championship-winning squad with free transfers he voiced his frustrations in a thinly-veiled press conference jab - complaining that the club "hadn't spent a penny."
And while he takes responsibility for the club failing to qualify for the Champions League, the Aston Villa boss admits he was frustrated and "wanted a bit more" from the board.
Speaking on Gary Neville's The Overlap podcast, Gerrard said: "Rangers are a fantastic club, the support I had from the fans and the board, I couldn't have asked for any more.
"OK, maybe after we won it I would have wanted a bit more to really go for it.
"I think everyone had different challenges so I totally understood it. But I'm very much someone who, when you achieve something, it's like 'come on, let's go again.'
"We tried and unfortunately we didn't qualify for the Champions League. That's obviously on me.
"We took a while to get some targets in that we wanted and had to compromise a little bit but it's ultimately on me.
"But we started the next season well and left them out in front and in a good place. I'm sure Gio really appreciated that.
"I still believe Rangers have got a fantastic chance to build on what we've got there and I'd love to see that."
