Steven Gerrard would be open to returning to Rangers to replace Philippe Clement after he was sacked from his role at Ibrox on 23 February.

That is according to former Man United chief scout and Sir Alex Ferguson number two Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that the manager has maintained strong connections at Ibrox.Gerrard is currently out of work after leaving Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ettifaq by mutual consent at the end of January, and would be available with no compensation fee.

His previous success at Rangers, having led them to their most recent SPFL title in 2021 without losing a single league game as they picked up 102 points over 38 games.That season ensured he is still held in high esteem by the supporters at Ibrox, and he would be expected to have them on his side immediately should he make a return.

Gaining the support of the fans was something the previous manager struggled to do, as Rangers fans called for Clement to be sacked almost non-stop during his tenure.Clement’s struggles have seen Rangers fall 13 points behind Celtic in the league, while they were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Queens Park at Ibrox earlier this month.

Brown, who has a wealth of experience working with elite managers including the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Ron Atkinson at Man United, insisted that Gerrard will have to decide whether he feels he can get the best out of the current squad.
