And Gerrard warned: “Grezda has got it all to prove. He needs to push himself to prove to everyone he’s capable of being a Rangers player.
“First and foremost he needs to win a shirt because at the moment the players who played against Celtic have got the shirts and rightly so.
“He has to show to us in the coming weeks that he wants to win a shirt back and when he gets his opportunity take it and find consistency.”
Grezda’s progress was hampered on Thursday when he suffered a minor foot injury in training at Gers’ mid-winter training camp in Tenerife.
Borna Barisic is another player Gerrard wants to see more from although he concedes the Croat has been hampered by injuries.
He added: “Borna has had a lot of injuries and Grezda came injured.
“This trip is almost like a reset button for both of them and need to use the next two weeks as a mini pre-season to get their bodies ready to cope with the physical demands of Scotland and the regular game schedule.
“There’s no doubt both have got quality. Borna has shown that regularly when he’s played but we haven’t had him fit enough so he needs to get more robust.”
