Explosive Leaked Ibrox Message Claims Steven Gerrard Will be Next Rangers Manager

The managerial chaos at Rangers took another twist this week as further confusion emerged around the club’s next permanent appointment. With Barry Ferguson now officially out of the picture, the board continues to drag its heels—yet behind the scenes, a familiar name has reportedly been waiting in the wings.

A leaked message has added fuel to speculation that Steven Gerrard could be on the verge of a sensational return to Ibrox. The message, which appears to be from someone close to the process, claims that Gerrard has already agreed terms in principle and that only the finalisation of the club’s ownership situation has delayed the announcement.

The source states:

“The new owners had a very short list of targets and a verbal agreement was made weeks ago for Steven to come back, albeit nothing could be physically penned until the takeover was at the point of no return.

This was a full agreement though on salary, term, staff, budget and expectations from both sides.

Unless Steven has had a change of heart or there’s been SIGNIFICANT moving of goalposts at our end, there would be no need to speak to anyone else for the manager’s job.”

The message concludes by saying the club is expected to announce Gerrard “as early as the next 72 hours,” assuming a few final details are settled.

This adds a fascinating layer to the current vacuum at Ibrox, where fans have grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of clarity. After Will Still and Davide Ancelotti reportedly turned the role down, and with Ferguson now out, the options were narrowing fast. Gerrard, who previously brought Rangers the fabled 55 title, still commands respect among the support—though not everyone is convinced he’s the right fit for the rebuild ahead.

If true, this leak suggests Gerrard has been the plan all along, with the board merely waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger. But until an official announcement is made, fans are left in limbo once again.

Rangers’ next step is pivotal—not just for the direction of the team, but for the credibility of the leadership. If Gerrard is indeed returning, the club needs to confirm it quickly and end the circus. If not, it risks dragging this saga even deeper into farce.
