Gerrard faces mixed reactions from Rangers fans over potential return

The potential return of Steven Gerrard to Rangers has sparked mixed reactions among fans and former players following recent poor performances under current manager Philippe Clement. Many believe that Gerrard's controversial departure to Aston Villa, coupled with his lackluster managerial record since then, would make his reappointment unpopular with a significant portion of the support. Former Rangers player Danny Wilson expressed skepticism, noting that while some fans may welcome Gerrard back, others will hold onto resentment due to how he left the club. Conversely, Rangers legend Ally McCoist asserts that Gerrard is still highly regarded for his previous successes, suggesting a possible path back to Ibrox. As Clement's position becomes increasingly precarious after a humiliating Scottish Cup exit, bookmakers have made Gerrard the frontrunner for the managerial role should Clement be dismissed. However, many fans argue that Gerrard's past achievements do not outweigh his recent failures, with some believing a fresh approach is necessary for the club's future success.
