Steven Gerrard is among the leading candidates to become the next manager of Rangers FC, alongside Russell Martin, according to reports from SunSport. A final decision is expected by the end of the week.

A Glasgow Comeback?

Gerrard’s return would mark a sensational reunion with the club where he delivered the historic 55th league title in 2021, ending Celtic’s nine-year dominance in Scottish football. His time at Ibrox earned widespread acclaim for reviving the club’s competitive spirit and stature.

Career in Flux Since Leaving Ibrox

After leaving Rangers for Aston Villa, Gerrard’s managerial journey has seen mixed results. His tenure at Villa was brief, and in July 2023, he took charge of Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia.

Despite a promising start in the Middle East, speculation suggests the 44-year-old could be open to a return to European football — or even take a break from coaching altogether, with reports indicating he may be preparing for a more family-focused chapter in life.
