Rangers signed Gareth McAuley on a free transfer earlier this month.
The 38-year-old has joined the club on a one-year deal and he is expected to be a backup for Goldson and Katic this season.
The Northern Ireland defender is apparently a boyhood Rangers fan and he tweeted out an image of him as a child in a Rangers shirt.
McAuley wrote a heartfelt message saying that his childhood dream has come true.
It seems that the experienced centre-back is delighted to play for Rangers and that should come as a boost to Gerrard and the fans.
