Speaking after the Europa League fixture, Gerrard was delighted with his teams second-half performance.

"We have unbelievable quality. I asked them to just show a little more belief and confidence," he told Rangers TV.

The Liverpool legend added: "But the second-half performance was very strong and we are a good team when we show it, when we believe, and we can create chances against anyone.

"It is a fantastic result and the message is watch the second half and start believing you are a very good team.

"We told them we are capable of hurting Villarreal and the other teams in the group.

"I'm not going to say we deserved to win the game but to come here and put a point on the board, I'd have certainly taken it. This, on paper, is probably the toughest test for us in the group."
