The Scottish Premiership season is drawing to a close, but for Rangers, the biggest battle is just beginning.

After parting ways with Philippe Clement back in February, the club has been under the interim guidance of Barry Ferguson.

With just three league games left, Rangers have now kicked off their search for a permanent manager.

But this isn’t just another job hunt.

The Glasgow side is eyeing names with real weight.

The kind of figures who understand the pressure, know what it’s like to lead from the front, and have felt the heat in the biggest of games.

The list of candidates reportedly stretches into double figures, with both British and foreign coaches in the mix.

The competition for the job is fierce.

Clubs like West Brom, Norwich, and Southampton are also hunting for new managers after the Football League season wrapped up.

That means Rangers need to move fast and get this appointment right.

They want someone who won’t just steady the ship—but raise the standard.

Now, Rangers are seriously considering bringing back a man who already made history at Ibrox—Steven Gerrard.

According to The Telegraph, “Steven Gerrard is on Rangers’ longlist of managerial candidates as they step up their search for a successor to Philippe Clement.”

Others being looked at include ex-Wolves boss Gary O’Neil, former Luton manager Rob Edwards, and Southampton’s Russell Martin, who once had a loan spell at Rangers.

But it’s Gerrard’s name that jumps out.

He won the Scottish Premiership title in 2021, breaking Celtic’s long hold on the league.

That team, built under his leadership, later reached the Europa League final under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

It was a strong foundation that nearly led to European glory.

Gerrard’s managerial path hasn’t been smooth since then.

He moved to Aston Villa but didn’t last long?

Then came a stint in Saudi Arabia with Al Ettifaq.

He left that role in January with the club sitting 12th, five points above the drop zone.

Still, his past success at Rangers—and the respect he commands—makes him a serious option.

His return would spark debate, but for Liverpool fans, it’s a reminder of one of their own testing himself again.

And this time, back where he once conquered Glasgow.
