The former Liverpool captain, who guided the Ibrox side to their first Scottish Premiership title in ten years back in 2021, has emerged as the leading contender to replace Russell Martin following his dismissal earlier this week.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Gerrard is keen on a reunion with the Glasgow giants, with discussions expected to focus on the club’s current structure, transfer plans, and long-term ambitions. It’s understood that Rangers are eager to bring back stability and leadership after a turbulent start to the season that has left them trailing rivals Celtic.
Gerrard, now 45, enjoyed a highly successful spell during his first tenure between 2018 and 2021, rebuilding the squad and restoring belief among supporters. His work at Ibrox earned him plaudits across Europe before he departed for Aston Villa in the English Premier League.
While his managerial journey since leaving Glasgow has had mixed results, Gerrard’s connection with Rangers remains strong. He has often spoken with pride about his time in charge, describing the club as “a special place that changed my life.”
If negotiations progress positively, an official announcement could follow in the coming days — potentially marking the start of a new Gerrard era at Ibrox.
