WWE superstar Drew McIntyre says Rangers' manager Steven Gerrard has got "the right team" and believes for his beloved Rangers, this is their season.

McIntyre - who is not scheduled to compete at this Sunday's SummerSlam pay-per-view in Toronto, Canada, is convinced that Gerrard's will to win in his playing career for Liverpool will translate in Rangers' campaign this season.

"That's a player [Steven Gerrard] that used to play with so much passion for Liverpool. He played for the jersey and I feel like that's was what was missing from Rangers for years," he said.

McIntyre is just relieved that once again Rangers and Celtic rivalry has resumed in the top flight.
