Steven Gerrard Eyes Rangers Return Amid Danny Rohl Exit Talk

Steven Gerrard is set to be in contention to become the next Rangers manager if Danny Rohl chooses to depart soon.

He won Rangers fans' hearts for his impressive stint in charge between 2018 and 2021.

Gerrard recently admitted that he was close to returning last summer, but the timing did not feel right.

He guided the club to the 2020-21 Premiership title and won a raft of Manager of the Year awards that season.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Gerrard said: "I had some really positive and interesting talks with the owners, but it felt a bit rushed."

He appeared on 'The Smith Brothers' podcast in December and addressed the rumours around Rangers once more.

Gerrard handed James Tavernier the captaincy during his time at Ibrox, and the right-back enjoyed some of the best seasons of his career under his guidance.

Tavernier became a goal contribution machine while playing for Gerrard and clearly rated him highly.

Gerrard has not held any managerial position since leaving Al-Ettifaq by mutual consent last January.

He is looking for the right match, and Rangers is his type of club, with the fans and passion suiting his style.

Rohl's position at Ibrox has been doubted over recent months after Rangers' failure to mount a Premiership title challenge.

The Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg are reportedly pushing to appoint Rohl, while he is open to such a move.

Gerrard will surely be heavily linked with an Ibrox return if Rohl does choose to join Salzburg in the coming days.

And Gerrard's experience and success at Rangers make him a strong candidate to take over as manager.

But the timing and circumstances will be crucial in determining whether Gerrard returns to Rangers.

So Gerrard's future remains uncertain, with several factors influencing his potential return to Rangers.

Gerrard's affection and connection with Rangers are clear, and he has expressed his desire to return to the club.
