STEVEN GERRARD is in talks to become the next Rangers manager.

SunSport can reveal the Liverpool legend is being lined up to replace Pedro Caixinha – seven months after the Portuguese coach was sacked.

Mark Allen is leading the Gers delegation
The sensational move would see Gerrard go head-to-head with his former Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers in Glasgow.

However it will also raise eyebrows among the Ibrox support with Rangers seemingly set to turn to a man with no previous managerial experience.

Following his retirement from football in 2016, Gerrard has been coaching Liverpool’s under-18s.

The Gers job would represent a significant stepup.

Gerrard lifted the Champions League as Liverpool captain in 2005
But it’s understood the former England international isn’t daunted by the size of the task or the challenge of restoring the club to its former glory.

Talks between all parties are said to be ongoing, but SunSport understands a deal is close with director of football Mark Allen leading the Ibrox delegation.

Gers chairman Dave King was pictured at Anfield on Tuesday night as he took in Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final win over Roma.

Gerrard was also present in his capacity as a BTSport pundit.

The move would end months of speculation andalso confirm that Graeme Murty’s time as interimmanager is coming to an end.

Wow this is bold and huge news.

 

[Rankrotten]

Andy Devlin seems to have sources close to the Rangers board, this is a goer.

 

[Vidmar]

Strap-on!

Errr, I mean, strap-in! Sorry. Channeled @Earl of Leven there.

 

[JimmyBuffetloyal]

Their Breaking News clip on twitter is that Gerrard is in talks for the managers job

 

[Sasa-]

Wtf.

I didn't think they would go for this much of a gamble again, not sure what to think right now.

 

[MoodyBlue1872]

I would love this !!

But knowing our luck it won't happen and we'll end up with some c.unt like Alex Neil !!

But we desparately need a "wow" moment.

Deliver Gerrard Rangers !!!

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Wow.

If true, I would hope he employs a very experienced #2.

 

[RDFM]

There it is, 10 and beyond for them.

I hope the boys that padlocked Auchenhowie do it to every possible entrance at Ibrox.

 

[Flash81]

Bloody hell,I have no fucking idea of what to make a this.

 

[Rangerstillidie]

Give him it.

 

[Necro]

This is either going to be another Souness revolution or a total failure, can’t see an inbeteeen

 

[Butcher6]

There it is, 10 and beyond for them.

I hope the boys that padlocked Auchenhowie do it to every possible entrance at Ibrox.

Wouldn’t be so sure on that mate.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Wow!

 

[jeanpaulvalley]

I’m in.

[Caldow1872]

I got a text tonight about Gerrard and automatically said don’t talk pish the board aren’t that stupid. Maybe it’s me that’s stupid haha

 

[Butcher6]

Bold move and will definitely put our club back into the spotlight in a good way.

If we appoint him I want us to open the stadium to the fans and make a right big deal of him.

 

[The banter years]

Why would an under 18s coach be better than our under 20s coach?
I just can't understand this.
We need a fckn manager. Not an experiment.

 

[dynamo_rosco]

Could be the new Souness.

Could be a Gary Neville.

Exciting times ahead

 

[Luis Fernandez]

Absolutely bonkers.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Can I just say I’ve always thought he was alright. I was only joking when I said he was a scouse c()nt

 

[The banter years]

Could be the new Souness.

Could be a Gary Neville.

Exciting times ahead

We need steady times ahead mate.

 

[Blackpool Dave]

It would be a tremendous gamble

 

[RDFM]

Wouldn’t be so sure on that mate.

I’m very sure. Never mind management experience, he’s had a about 6 months coaching experience. Great players do not equal great managers by default.

 

[Rodney Wallace]

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...iverpool-academy-coach-manager-aged-two-years

Decent read and overview of his experience so far.

Bold move by the board...

 

[PaulS1988]

This board taking the p*ss out of us?. We need experience and not another youth coach, if he gets the job it will be on name alone.

 

[krisboyd]

we may as well just give them ten on a plate if this is true

madness.

 

[El Buffalo]

Totally bamboozled by this. A massive gamble. I’m assuming Gerrard would demand a certain amount of cash for transfers if he were to take the job. Maybe King has found investment, who knows.

[hamiltonbear7]

Well he did stop Rodgers winning a title before so ...

 

[Henry Hill]

One youth team coach to another...

 

[Kratos]

Having a huge name like Gerrard would put the spotlight on the club and Scottish football in general.

Could be a great move in terms of potential foreign investment.

 

[ItsInTheNet]

I would be very happy if that proves to be the case.

 

[JeffreySpaulding]

Went from an under 20's coach to an under 18's coach.

We should get someone with more experience.

 

[dynamo_rosco]

We need steady times ahead mate.

I can’t disagree with you mate.

I’d be lying if I said it didn’t get my juices flowing though. If it happens we need to get right behind it

 

[Alfie_WATP]

Gerrard, Gary Mac and Culshaw could be installed as early as the end of next week.

Busy times ahead folks.

Obviously to take over for next season but confirmed nonetheless.

 

[Geno]

Edited.

 

[Portrushbear]

Bold move indeed

Let's face it, you would struggle to appoint a more high profile candidate

An experienced number 2 and it could work

He is bound to have some serious contacts in the game

 

[Roger Smith Loyal]

Pfff, no thanks.

I'd like an actual manager please.

 

[Gios_Gillet]

Colossal gamble. From one youth coach to another. No doubt end in tears. Everybody wanted a big name, i guess we got one except his big name is for playing the game.

 

[The Bin Man]

Perhaps we have limited options. When we went for McInnes DK said there were not a lot of suitable applicants. Maybe SG is the best available option.

 

[Laudrups Barnet 55]

I normally try and find positives and not pish all over everything I see on here.

But what the actual %^*& are the board thinking of!?

Stevie G was a fantastic player but hes a bastardin under 18s coach!!!

Winning mentality or not he's never had a fucking managerial job how the %^*& is he going to manage this! Might well have dealt with big demands and media and all that bollocks but for %^*& sake another cunting experiment

The sneaky uncles are stronger than they have been in years and it's ohhh Wel see how this goes again.

GET A REAL FUCKING MANAGER YOU STUPID CUNTS


That said hope Stevie does a fantastic job and this is quoted in a few years and I'm made to look a massive fanny.

 

[MoodyBlue1872]

As mentioned already , i'd love this to happen.

But - could this just be propaganda from our board around ST renewal time to pretend that they are looking at a big name ??

 

[The Ultimate Warrior]

Fascinates me more than most names mentioned.

 

[PRSO's PONYTAIL]

Seems like such a gamble when we are in a time where gambles have languished us from one crisi to another

Still will get my full support

Sublime player, if true hope he is the same calibre in management

If nothing else it will annoy one of the tims at my work whos obsessed with him

 

[Tommyhlrsc]

So from an under 20's coach out his depth to a under 18's coach.....

Can we afford the Gamble?

 

[Cooperfan]

It would be a massive gamble due to SGs complete lack of experience. Too big IMHO.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

Shit just got real. Yeah it's a gamble but who can offer a realistic name who wouldn't be? This could be really exciting as I'm sure there just be some degree of a decent budget for him to come in.

 

[Dollar]

Just about ready to pack it in if this happens.

What the %^*& is going on?

 

[Jed jed1]

Unsure what to make of this, it's a right gamble to take by the board
