Rangers have Steven Gerrard stumbling block as sources confirm view on current squad
Rangers may have a lot of work to do to convince Steven Gerrard after sacking Russell Martin.
The Liverpool icon was the last manager to win the league title at the Gers, ending their 10-year wait for the trophy.
Martin’s firing was on the wall at Ibrox after the Light Blues suffered their joint-worst European defeat against Club Brugge in the Champions League play-off.
Some fans now want to see Andrew Cavenagh bring Gerrard back to the Glaswegian outfit, but the club chairman could potentially have to make certain assurances.
Steven Gerrard not big fan of current Rangers squad
Gerrard doesn’t have the best of opinions about the Gers squad that was assembled for Martin, according to the Daily Record.
The news outlet reports on 6 October that the Liverpool icon is in no hurry to return to management after his spell at Al-Ettifaq.
It’s been claimed that the Englishman has turned down several approaches from interested clubs in recent months, and it remains to be seen whether he finds the current job in G51 appealing.
Another stumbling block for the Glaswegian outfit is that the former midfielder has negative views about the current group of players at Ibrox.

Whether Kevin Thelwell and Gerrard can work together will be a significant question, with the Liverpool icon surely wanting to have the final say on transfers.
While times in G51 are volatile, fans will take some respite in the fact that Martin is no longer in charge of the club.
Andrew Cavenagh should get on phone with Steven Gerrard
Cavenagh should get on a call with Gerrard immediately, as he seems like the obvious candidate to take charge next.
The American owners need to quickly retain the supporters’ faith after failing with Martin’s appointment at Rangers.

| 192 | 124 | 41 | 27 |
It wouldn’t be a good look for the new ownership if the next person they hire also fails miserably this season.
Gerrard is a known entity, and despite heavy investment in the summer, the Liverpool icon should be promised further recruits in the January transfer window.
