Archie Knox opens up about Gerrard’s focus on youth players

Former Rangers coach Archie Knox has revealed a quality that separates Steven Gerrard from most modern managers.

Knox claims that Gerrard’s focus on youth players makes him stand out.

The former Rangers man revealed that Steven Gerrard is well aware of what is happening in the academy and he keeps a track of the talented young players at the club.

He also added that Gerrard is prepared to hand out chances to young players if they can prove their worth.

Knox claims that managers like Sir Alex Ferguson placed a lot of emphasis on the club’s academy players and Gerrard is the same.
