Maribor came close to scoring on the 36 minute mark, when goalkeeper Alan McGregor tipped a powerful shot over the woodwork.
Maribor had the chance to win the match when they were awarded a penalty in the last minute of the 90, but McGregor stepped up again to save the spot kick, ensuring that the Slovenian team were not even granted a consolation goal.
Gerrard's managerial career has got off to an excellent start, as Rangers have picked up four points from two league games and are now on the verge of qualifying for the Europa League.
