Former Gerrard team mate delivers major verdict on his return to Rangers | OneFootball

Former West Ham, Chelsea and England right-back Glen Johnson thinks it would be unlikely that his former Anfield team-mate Steven Gerrard would be interested in a return to Ibrox. Steven Gerrard returning to Rangers is unlikely.

Gerrard enjoyed a winning spell in the SPL and has been linked with a fresh attempt to succeed in Scotland as current Rangers boss Russell Martin comes under increasing pressure.

Johnson thinks that Gerrard will not want to uproot his family to go North of the border once more.

During this exclusive sitdown interview, Johnson:

Glen Johnson was speaking on behalf of 10bet.

Would you tip your former teammate Steven Gerrard to go back into Ibrox and turn things around if the Scottish giants dispense with Russell Martin?

Steven Gerrard returning to Rangers seems unlikely according to Johnson. Johnson’s comments underline the difficult position Rangers find themselves in, as pressure mounts on Russell Martin yet realistic alternatives appear thin. While Gerrard’s name dominates headlines, his reluctance means the board may have to look elsewhere for stability. Fans still idolise him for delivering the 55th title, but the circumstances have drastically changed. The Scottish Premiership is tighter, rivals are stronger, and Rangers are fragile. Johnson’s belief that Gerrard will stay away leaves Martin clinging on, while speculation about other candidates such as Danny Rohl or Gary O’Neil gathers pace. The uncertainty only deepens the crisis engulfing Ibrox.
