Football fans woke up to surprising reports this morning suggesting that one of Liverpool’s greatest icons could be heading back to familiar territory — and this potential comeback has already set tongues wagging across the football world.
While there’s no unrest surrounding Arne Slot’s position at Anfield, the same can’t be said up north. In a dramatic twist overnight, Rangers parted ways with their manager after just four turbulent months in charge. The decision reportedly came following a frustrating 1-1 draw at Falkirk, which pushed the club’s hierarchy to act swiftly.
According to fresh reports from The Guardian, Steven Gerrard is being strongly considered for a stunning return to Ibrox. The Liverpool legend previously led Rangers to an unbeaten league title in 2021 — their first in a decade — cementing his place as one of the club’s modern heroes.
Gerrard, who remains adored by a large section of the Glasgow faithful, is seen as a fan-favorite candidate to restore stability and ambition to the team. At 45, he’s currently without a managerial role after parting ways with Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia earlier this year, and he’s understood to be open to the right opportunity.
Insiders believe a second spell at Rangers could be exactly what the former Reds captain needs to reignite his coaching career, especially after mixed spells at Aston Villa and abroad. He was briefly linked to the Southampton job earlier this year but ultimately missed out on the position.
If Gerrard does take on the challenge, he’d be stepping into a pressure-cooker environment — Rangers currently sit eighth in the Scottish Premiership, 11 points off the top, and face a tough road in Europe. Still, those who know Gerrard well believe he thrives when the odds are stacked against him.
A return to Ibrox could be more than just a managerial move — it could be a redemption story in the making. ⚡
