As reported by The Daily Record, Steven Gerrard has agreed a three-year deal to become manager of Rangers, with the move set to be confirmed today.
It’s an appointment that is undoubtedly box office and despite concerns about his lack of managerial pedigree, fans are willing to get behind him and show excitement about the future ahead.
Rangers fans recognise more than anyone that giving an untested youth coach the job is a massive risk, but given they have hit rock bottom this season, it’s understandable that they’d be looking ahead with optimism rather than trepidation.
At the very least, the reputation of Gerrard as a player should mean he commands some sort of respect in the Ibrox hotseat initially, which after the disastrous reigns of Pedro Caixinha and Graeme Murty will be more than welcome to supporters.
Whether he can close the gap on Celtic next season remains to be seen, but for certain it’s set to be interesting times in Glasgow with Gerrard and Brendan Rodgers in opposite dugouts.
Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the imminent appointment…
