Just when it seemed Steven Gerrard was closer than ever to making a sensational return to Rangers, fresh reports suggest the club has taken a surprising new direction. According to sources close to Ibrox, the Rangers board have delayed final talks with Gerrard to explore an unexpected alternative — a move many see as a “plot twist” in their managerial hunt.
While Gerrard had been the overwhelming favourite to replace the sacked Russell Martin, insiders claim Rangers’ hierarchy are now in advanced discussions with another high-profile candidate whose identity remains undisclosed. This shift reportedly stems from differing opinions within the board over Gerrard’s wage demands and control over transfer decisions.
Fabrizio Romano had earlier reported that negotiations were progressing positively, describing Gerrard’s return as “closer than ever.” However, the latest development hints at a possible change of plan, as Rangers weigh their long-term strategy and financial structure.
Fans have reacted with mixed emotions — some calling for Gerrard’s homecoming, others urging the club to look forward rather than back. One thing is certain: Rangers’ next move will reveal their true intent and could define the club’s future direction for years to come.
