Sport nationSteven Gerrard’s Potential Rangers Return: What’s Behind the Speculation?
The recent sacking of Philippe Clement as Rangers manager has sparked intense speculation about the club’s next move. Among the names being floated as a potential successor is none other than Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool icon who previously managed the Glasgow giants.
Gerrard’s name has been mentioned alongside other contenders, including Barry Ferguson, who has taken the reins on an interim basis. However, the prospect of Gerrard returning to Ibrox has generated significant buzz, with many wondering if he could be the man to revive the club’s fortunes.
Ally McCoist, a Rangers legend and friend of Gerrard’s, has already thrown his weight behind the idea, suggesting that Gerrard would be an ideal candidate for the job. “Stevie Gerrard would be in the conversation,” McCoist told talkSPORT. “He’s got the experience, he’s got the know-how, and he’s got the passion for the club.”
Gerrard’s previous stint at Rangers was marked by significant success, including a Premiership title win in 2021. However, his subsequent move to Aston Villa was less successful, and he eventually parted ways with the club. A brief spell in the Saudi Pro League followed, but Gerrard is now out of work and potentially available to return to Ibrox.
While some may question whether Gerrard’s return would be a wise move, given his recent managerial record, others argue that his passion for the club and his previous success make him an attractive candidate.
As the speculation continues to swirl, one thing is clear: Steven Gerrard’s potential return to Rangers is a story that will continue to dominate the headlines in the coming days and weeks. Whether or not he ultimately gets the job remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Gerrard’s name is sure to be at the forefront of the conversation.
