Steven Gerrard's managerial career hasn't gone to plan since he left Rangers in 2021 to take the vacant Aston Villa position. Now, Gerrard is set for a return to Rangers after the club sacked first-year coach Russell Martin less than a few months into his appointment.

"Gerrard’s return to Rangers is closer than ever, with talks advancing and set to continue this week. Gerrard first landed at Rangers in 2018 after a stint with the Liverpool U18s.

I want to be on a team that’s going to compete to win because I think that suits me better." Ex-Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack hopes the move can get finalized.
