Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has signaled his willingness to return to Ibrox, but only if the club can provide the financial backing required to restore them to the top of Scottish football. Gerrard, who famously led the Glasgow giants to their first Scottish Premiership title in a decade back in 2021, remains a highly respected figure among the Rangers faithful.
According to reports, Gerrard is open to taking charge once again, though he has made it clear that he will only consider the role if Rangers’ board is prepared to invest significantly in the squad. The Liverpool legend believes that meaningful transfer funds and long-term structural support are essential if the club is to challenge rivals Celtic and regain dominance domestically, while also competing on the European stage.
During his previous tenure, Gerrard implemented a disciplined, attacking style of play and built a side capable of breaking Celtic’s stranglehold on the league. However, financial limitations proved a challenge, particularly in strengthening depth for European competitions. With Celtic continuing to strengthen under their own management, Gerrard reportedly wants assurances that Rangers will not be left behind in the transfer market.
The managerial situation at Rangers remains in flux, with growing speculation about potential changes after an inconsistent start to the season. Gerrard’s name has quickly risen to the top of the list of possible replacements, given both his track record and his strong connection with the club’s supporters.
For now, the decision rests with the Rangers hierarchy. If they are prepared to match Gerrard’s ambitions with substantial investment, a sensational return to Ibrox could be on the horizon. Fans, meanwhile, are eagerly watching developments, hoping that the man who once delivered glory could once again lead them forward.
