Steven Gerrard is reportedly on the verge of a stunning return to Rangers Football Club, with sources indicating that advanced discussions are taking place to bring the Liverpool icon back to Ibrox.
Gerrard's Potential Ibrox Homecoming
According to exclusive information obtained by the Mirror, Rangers are actively pursuing their former manager in what would represent one of Scottish football's most dramatic comebacks. The Glasgow giants are believed to be preparing for a major managerial change following recent disappointing results under Philippe Clement.
Why Rangers Want Gerrard Back
Gerrard's previous tenure at Rangers between 2018 and 2021 remains highly regarded by the club's hierarchy and supporters alike. During his first spell, he delivered the club's first Scottish Premiership title in a decade, preventing Celtic from achieving an unprecedented ten-in-a-row while going the entire 2020-21 season undefeated.
The emotional connection between Gerrard and the Rangers faithful cannot be overstated, with many fans still holding his previous achievements in the highest regard. His understanding of the club's culture and the intense pressure of Old Firm football makes him an attractive candidate for the board.
Current Managerial Situation
While current manager Philippe Clement remains in position, Rangers' recent form has raised serious questions about his long-term future. The team's performance in crucial matches has fallen below expectations, leading to growing unrest among supporters.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Rangers' hierarchy view Gerrard as the ideal candidate to revitalise the squad and mount a serious challenge to Celtic's domestic dominance.
What Gerrard Brings to Rangers
- Proven track record of delivering silverware
- Deep understanding of Rangers' traditions and expectations
- Enhanced ability to attract quality players
- Immediate connection with the fanbase
- Experience managing in high-pressure environments
The potential appointment would see Gerrard return to management after his departure from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq earlier this year, providing him with an opportunity to rebuild his reputation in familiar surroundings.
