Rangers are in advanced discussions with Steven Gerrard regarding a return as head coach, following the dismissal of Russell Martin on Sunday. The club is in urgent need of leadership as they navigate a difficult period, currently sitting eighth in the league table eleven points behind leaders Hearts and nine behind rivals Celtic.

The Rangers board remains optimistic that Gerrard is the right figure to steady the ship and restore the club’s competitive edge. Gerrard previously managed Rangers from 2018 to 2021, guiding the team to their first league title in a decade and ending Celtic’s domestic dominance. Since his departure, Rangers have struggled to reclaim top spot in the Scottish Premiership.
