Steven Gerrard could make his managerial return a little over eight months on from ending his time in Saudi Arabia. That was in recognition of his remarkable work at Rangers, where he oversaw an invincible, centurion season.

But by the time Liverpool plumped for Arne Slot, it has to be said that Gerrard was well out of the frame. Heading up a side outside of the four PIF-owned teams, Gerrard always had his work cut out to make much of a splash.

Whatever water has passed under the bridge since, Gerrard deserves huge amounts of credit for that first stint, and you can see why Rangers would seek his return under these circumstances. Detractors have tried to claim that Gerrard relied to an outsized degree on the staff around him during his time in charge, but he has earned the right to try and put things right himself.
