Sport nationRangers Legend Ally McCoist Backs Steven Gerrard Return Amid Pressure on Philippe Clement
The Scottish League Cup semi-finals have concluded, with Rangers staging a dramatic comeback to defeat Motherwell 2-1 and Celtic thrashing Aberdeen 6-0. As Rangers prepare to face Celtic in the final, pressure mounts on manager Philippe Clement, with the team already nine points adrift of Celtic in the league.
Rangers icon Ally McCoist has expressed support for former manager Steven Gerrard’s potential return to Ibrox, citing his previous success and the current team’s deeper structural issues.
McCoist told TalkSport, “He would be welcomed back. He won the title in his time at Rangers and he would be welcomed back… But I have to tell you Jeff [Stelling], the problems at Rangers go far greater than the manager at this moment in time and a lot deeper.”
McCoist emphasized the need for stability at the top, stating, “No full-time chairman, director of football or chief executive. There is none of that happening at this moment in time, and that has to happen… It works its way down if things aren’t right at the top.”
Meanwhile, Aberdeen striker Duk has issued a defiant title warning to Celtic despite their 6-0 loss. Duk took to Instagram, saying, “Proud to be a part of this team, we lost a battle but the war is not over. Thank you for the support. We go again Saturday.”
Aberdeen remains level with Celtic at the top of the table, with a run of nine victories and one draw from their opening 10 games.
As the Scottish League Cup final approaches, tensions between Rangers and Celtic continue to build. Will Philippe Clement weather the storm, or could Steven Gerrard’s return be on the horizon?
