Rangers line up ‘shock’ Steven Gerrard return, Danny Rohl could be sacked after Old Firm
Rangers could be set to replace Danny Rohl with Steven Gerrard.
The German head coach has come under scrutiny in recent weeks after back-to-back defeats dashed any title hopes at Ibrox.
Losing to Motherwell and Hearts has left the Gers with little to play for in their final three Scottish Premiership outings of the season.
Next up is an Old Firm clash at Parkhead, with a Celtic win able to push them to within a point of the top, but it could spell bad news in Govan.
Rohl could be on his way out of Rangers if he faces another loss, with Gerrard’s return potentially in the pipeline after the trip to Celtic Park on Sunday.

Celtic could seal Danny Rohl’s fate at Rangers
Things started so well under the former Sheffield Wednesday boss, but recent results have certainly taken away from his reputation in G51.
He still has a largely positive record, but that may not be enough to keep him in the job moving into the summer.

| Losses | 9 |
Losing to Hearts and Motherwell in back-to-back games has seemingly taken a toll on his future as the Ibrox hierarchy look at new options.
Alan Nixon reported the “shock” news on Sunday via Patreon that “Gerrard’s name is being whispered in high places in Glasgow”.
The Gers seemingly find his recent failings difficult to deal with, so a defeat in the upcoming Old Firm could go a long way towards sealing his fate in G51.
Gerrard has long been linked to a Rangers return, but a comeback at this stage would certainly come as a surprise in Govan and beyond.
Rangers could land Steven Gerrard blow to Burnley
It would be a massive blow to the ex-Germany assistant manager to be sacked after just eight months in charge of the Light Blues.
Letting him go at this stage would be a bold call, especially if Gerrard is to be called upon, five years after his ill-fated departure for Aston Villa.
That would be a surprise and would also damage Burnley ahead of their drop back into the English Championship next campaign.
The former Liverpool captain has been strongly linked with a move to Turf Moor, despite there being no formal approach at this stage.
Gerrard could take a decision out of the Clarets’ hands, but it all hinges on the future of Rohl after a difficult spell at Ibrox.
