If anything, it was his European form that saved his job as manager before winning the Scottish Premiership title at the third attemptThe squad he assembled was well balanced, however, a look back at an Ibrox glory night in November 2019 raises a few questions about some of the Rangers players at Gerrard’s disposal.The team that started against Porto on the 7th November 2019 in the Europa League was a strong one.
Unlike the 2024 “vintage” most fans would probably agree on as many as 10 out of the 11 positions as being Rangers best.The team was built on a settled defence with a midfield that could look after the ball, and win it back if it was lost, led by the evergreen Steven Davis, who seemed to get better with age.
But it is the forward line where nothing makes sense.
Alfredo Morelos’ troubles are well documented and, at 28-years old finds himself in Colombian, rather than a top five league as his talent suggested he would be.
