Rangers manager: New favourite emerges as top man | OneFootball

It’s now confirmed: Steven Gerrard is the bookmakers’ top pick to become the next manager of Rangers. And can you really fault them for that? Ever since he left Liverpool, the man’s been doing some pretty impressive work, showing that he has a real knack not just for leadership but also for the fine art of footballing tactics. The possibility of bringing in a legend who knows what winning looks like from the inside must have Rangers fans pretty excited. After all, Gerrard’s not just any former player; he’s an all-time great midfielder who led Liverpool through some of their most thrilling on-field adventures.

We should remember what Gerrard achieved with Rangers the last time he was there. Winning the Scottish Premiership title and ending Celtic’s hegemony was no small task. It should have the Ibrox faithful dreaming big once more. And why not? It seems like a perfect match: a club hungry for return to the glory days, and a manager who wants to build a legacy beyond Merseyside. Is there anyone better suited right now to navigate the tricky waters of Scottish football? I don’t think so! His experience in England, coupled with his handling of pressure-cooker encounters, gives him an advantage that most other candidates simply don’t have.

The oddsmakers aren’t just poking in the dark; they’re endorsing someone who has genuine flair and competence to restore Rangers to a competitive edge. Don’t forget those Old Firm games when every pass seemed like a chess move, where the player with the sharpest tactical mind handled the game with the precision of a master. Rangers desperately need that quality right now, and they need it from someone who can unite the team and push back with some real firepower against Celtic.

Will Gerrard return to the role? The odds say he will. To tell the truth, it’s kind of thrilling to think that he might actually do so. After his detour into the broader realm of football management and all the experience that comes with that, how great would it be for him to come back to Rangers and be the full-time, no-doubt-about-it boss? And if there’s anyone who can regain control of Ibrox and keep the fans on their feet week after week, it’s Steven Gerrard. So if this deal goes through, folks, we might just be on the cusp of one of the most exciting periods in recent Scottish football.
