Steven Gerrard Manager
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is reportedly contemplating a return to Rangers, as the club faces a potential relegation battle for the first time since the 1953-54 season. Gerrard’s interest in the managerial position at Ibrox comes amidst a challenging period for the Scottish club, currently languishing near the bottom of the table under manager Russell Martin.
Pat Nevin said: “I think Rangers would be quite tempting for Gerrard because remember he’s the last one that won a league title. Celtic have had so many in a row. So you’ve got to look at Gerrard, he knew how to do that job for a period of time. There is a big but. Where are you taking Rangers from, particularly right now? Even just a look at the league table. It’s a big old ask. It’s a huge ask just now. So it’s whether he likes what he sees when he looks at that, would he be tempted by that?”
Despite securing a recent victory against Hibs, Martin remains under immense pressure to deliver consistent results, with upcoming matches against Genk and Livingston being crucial for his tenure. The speculation surrounding Gerrard’s potential return has intensified, with other names such as Sean Dyche and Barry Ferguson also being linked to the position.
Gerrard, who is currently without a managerial role, was approached by Rangers over the summer but declined due to personal reasons. However, with the club’s current struggles, the possibility of his return has become a topic of interest among fans and pundits alike.
In addition to the Rangers speculation, former Manchester United midfielder Bryan Robson has suggested that Gerrard could be a suitable candidate for the managerial role at Wrexham, should Phil Parkinson depart. Wrexham, now in the Championship, has had a challenging start to the season but has recently secured wins against Norwich City and Reading, easing some pressure on Parkinson.
As the situation develops, Gerrard’s decision will likely hinge on the opportunities and challenges presented by each potential role. His return to Rangers would not only be a significant move for the club but also a testament to his enduring legacy as a successful manager in Scottish football.
