Former Liverpool and England legend Steven Gerrard is reportedly on the verge of making a sensational return to Rangers FC, nearly three years after leaving the Scottish giants for the Premier League.
According to multiple reports from UK outlets, Rangers have opened advanced talks with Gerrard to bring him back as head coach, following recent managerial struggles and a dip in form that have seen the club fall behind domestic rivals Celtic. Sources close to the club say the deal could be finalised within days, pending final discussions over backroom staff and contract terms.
Per a post on the official X page of transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, there have been initial discussions in the last 24 hours, and the Rangers hierarchy is set to meet with Gerrard to discuss further details.
”Steven Gerrard’s return to Rangers is closer than ever, with talks advancing and set to continue this week.
”Positive initial discussions in the last 24 hours, and Rangers hierarchy is set to meet with Gerrard to discuss further details.’’ Romano wrote on his X page (formerly Twitter).
Gerrard, who guided Rangers to an invincible league title in 2020/21, remains a fan favourite at Ibrox and is widely credited with revitalising the club’s competitive spirit during his first spell in charge. His potential return has already sparked excitement among supporters eager for renewed stability and ambition.
After leaving Rangers in 2021, Gerrard endured a difficult stint at Aston Villa before taking charge of Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League. Recent reports suggest he has been eager for a return to European football, and Rangers’ call came at the perfect time.
Club insiders believe Gerrard’s comeback could reignite belief within the squad and restore the club’s push for silverware both domestically and in Europe. An official announcement is expected soon.
