"Rangers are to hold talks with former team boss Steven Gerrard over their managerial vacancy. BBC Sport reported on Tuesday that the Scottish Premiership club were open to re-appointing Gerrard as their new head coach but were waiting for confirmation that the former Liverpool and England midfielder was prepared to return to Ibrox. Rangers will now discuss the position with Gerrard over the coming the days as they look to fill the vacancy created by Sunday's sacking of Russell Martin."
"Gerrard became manager of Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq in July 2023 but left by mutual consent in January and was subsequently linked with the Rangers job before Martin was appointed in June. In an interview with former England team-mate Rio Ferdinand, Gerrard this week spoke of his desire to return to management but said he wanted "to be at a team that's going to compete to win, because I think that suits me better"."
