Steven Gerrard jets in as new Rangers manager update emerges
Steven Gerrard has been linked with a return to Rangers after Barry Ferguson parted ways with the Ibrox outfit.
The former Liverpool captain guided Gers to their last league title and has since been the Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq manager.
Both stints did not go as he would’ve wanted them to and he is currently out of work and finds himself on the list to be the next Rangers manager.
Gerrard seen at Anfield to watch Liverpool v Crystal Palace
The Premier League season ended on Sunday, 25 May, and Liverpool, who had already secured the title weeks ago, were given the chance to lift the trophy.
They played FA Cup winners Crystal Palace and the occasion saw both teams giving each other a guard of honour.
There were many ex-Liverpool players and managers in the stands and the Sun spotted Gerrard at Anfield as well.

The Englishman returned to the UK after he was recently spotted in Bahrain.
However, it remains to be seen whether or not his return has anything to do with the managerial vacancy at Ibrox.
Rangers fans may be more receptive to Davide Ancelotti’s appointment
Davide Ancelotti’s potential appointment as Gers manager is likely to generate more excitement among fans than a Gerrard return due to the fresh perspective and elite pedigree he brings.
At 35, Davide, son of legendary coach Carlo, offers a modern, innovative approach honed as an assistant at top clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Napoli.
His connections could attract high-calibre players, and his ambition to prove himself as a head coach aligns with Gers’ new era under a proposed 49ers takeover, promising investment and ambition.
Fans likely see him as a bold, forward-thinking choice to challenge Celtic’s dominance and navigate Champions League qualifiers.
While Gerrard, a Rangers icon for winning the 2020/21 title, is beloved, his return might feel like a step backwards, given his mixed managerial record since leaving and familiarity with the squad.
Ancelotti’s untested potential, coupled with his elite coaching exposure, sparks greater intrigue for a fanbase craving a dynamic, transformative leader to elevate the club.
