Steven Gerrard Reports Plans for Ambitious Rangers Managerial Return

Steven Gerrard is in advanced talks to return as Rangers manager following the recent dismissal of Russell Martin, with Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh and vice-chairman Paraag Marathe leading discussions. Gerrard, who previously led Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title in 2021, is reportedly impressed with the club's plans and is aligned with their ambition to establish a new dynasty, a goal he had not achieved in his earlier tenure. Although Rangers are considering other candidates like Danny Rohl, Gerrard remains the frontrunner and has expressed a desire for a challenge that involves competing to win, emphasizing the importance of having the right support staff and a strong team. Since leaving Rangers, Gerrard's managerial stints at Aston Villa and Al Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia have been less successful, but he has indicated a sense of unfinished business in management and is ready to return under the right circumstances. His potential return is welcomed by former players and fans who see him as the best fit to stabilize and lead the club forward. Talks are ongoing, with details still to be finalized, but Gerrard's comeback appears imminent as Rangers seek to reverse their poor start to the season.
