Apparently in talks to become new Rangers manager.

That's mental.

And he’s a catholic so the Huns will hate him too!

Let's hope so. Less experience than Murty

Odds 1/3.

He was at Ibrox in March to see his 'new team' lose 3-2 to ra Sellick and witness the atmosphere.

Potter is 7/1.

It's no that Potter.

I’ve no issue with Gerrard, but with his constant constipatory scowl he’ll probably fit in quite well over in the big hoose!

From the BBC comments section .....

Inspired thinking from The Rangers.

After all Steven Gerrard is the last man who stopped Brendan Rodgers from winning a title.

Sadly, I'm sure it's just yet another Morelos-to-China style Jim Traynor stunt but if it did happen, Lennon would have him for breakfast.

[guthrie01]

Would be a good appointment I think, Murty done a good job even with no managing experience before but couldn’t gain the respect of the players when Celtic put them in place. Gerrard will know how to lead a dressing room which is what Rangers are lacking right now

I am no expert on sectarian issues but I thought the Rangers especially in their previous incarnation, had an affinity with Everton,(Duncan Ferguson, Walter Smith etc) and the Liverpool fans sing some Irish dirge, the name of which escapes me, but is usually identified with Eire.

Seems to me therefore that Gerrard is from 'the wrong side' so might not be welcomed by some of the more closed minded (in my opinion, the vast majority) of the Govan support.

Historically were Everton not formed out of a catholic church grouping, like us? Still got a catholic church in one of the corners at Goodieson have they not. Even the choice of blue shirts was something to do with the virgin Mary (im not religious in the slightest so that may be balls)
Liverpool has huge Irish/Scottish ancestry and in many ways its a bit like Glasgow on the Mersey. For me, Everton were more Irish in their make up than Liverpool. Don't let YNWA fool you.

St Lukes church in the corner of Goodison Park is an anglican church.

Many teams in Britain were formed from church associations in the latter 1800s.

What exactly is an Irish dirge ?

Everton do have a history of hun staff connections but that and the colour are the only similarities. Can assure you Everton leanings are definitely more Irish than Liverpool .

Fields of Athenry?

I am sure someone will come on to educate me in it's historical significance but to me it is merely an Irish dirge.

Feel free to educate me.

Football stuff aside - I think it's a great song.

He isn't stupid he knows what they are all about singing their pish on a match day. If he wants to represent that then he goes way down in my estimation.

Got to say I do not see how this pairing fits. Gerrard knows squat about Scottish football, he will expect a good wage and risks his reputation on a problem club. Will he get a good budget - probably not. Will he come under immediate pressure - yes. Can he take on Celtic - no. If he suceeds, no-one cares, if he fails he has pushed his managerial career back.

I can see what Rangers might get out of it short term - big name, some players from Liverpool etc. - little else

Remember he has a history of 'almost' moving. Admittedly its crazy enough for Sevco

[cabbageandribs1875]

cheating diving little pwick managing a vile institution = what a match




just need 'the gobber' carragher as his assistant, he could do all the interviews, then scottish football fans would go from not caring a jot what anyone from sevco says, to not having a clue what they're saying even if they did want to

The only plus for both sides in the deal is the instant publicity.
After that, I can only see disaster for both parties, TBH.

[BILLYHIBS]

Does he know what he is letting himself in for ? I think he should do his homework first. His managerial career could be over before it even starts.

can't believe Gerrard wants to take a bite out of that **** sandwich, but hey ho.

This will kill his managerial career at the first stage, it's John Barnes take two, promises of support and cash from Dave King and co will never materialise and he will be taking a huge gamble, he just needs to look at how badly they have treated Murty...

I hope he takes the job and fails miserably and scuttles off back to Liverpool with his tail between his legs

Liverpool legend takes first managerial steps in Glasgow. John Barnes didn't last long and there is no evidence to suggest Steeevie G would fare much better 🙂
