Ex-Gers boss goes 1/8 before leading bookmaker closes market overnight amid Steven Gerrard Rangers return

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said:

The Ibrox Noise view is that this story has moved at breakneck pace. What began as quiet background noise has erupted into a full-blown narrative that Gerrard is indeed on his way back to Ibrox. Sources close to the situation have confirmed dialogue between the two parties, and while nothing is yet official, it feels more a question of when, not if. Rangers fans appear split, some welcoming their title-winning hero, others cautious after his abrupt exit last time. But one thing is certain — the return of Gerrard would send seismic shockwaves through Scottish football and reignite belief inside Ibrox.

Momentum is clearly building, and the signals from both sides are impossible to ignore. Gerrard’s camp has stayed tight-lipped, but every bookmaker reaction points to inside confidence that the deal is close. Rangers’ board, meanwhile, are said to be moving swiftly, keen to restore authority and reconnect with a support that has grown weary under failed regimes. Gerrard knows the club, the demands, and the expectations better than anyone. If he does return, it would mark a full-circle moment for a manager who delivered 55 and left unfinished business behind. The noise around Ibrox has rarely sounded this loud.
