Steven Gerrard tipped to 'surprise' Rangers fans with ambitious plan

Steven Gerrard could make a stunning return to Rangers and change the fortunes of the club around following the tenure of Russell Martin.

Football Insider exclusively revealed Gerrard has been in “positive” talks with Rangers for the former Aston Villa manager to return for a second spell at Ibrox.

Gerrard won the Scottish Premiership title during his time at Rangers, and the club have been unable to topple Celtic at the top of the table since.

Martin was sacked at Rangers after 123 days in charge, leaving his successor with the club eighth in the league table, and without a win in the Europa League.

Rangers are already 11 points behind leaders Hearts, and nine points behind Celtic in the race for the league title.

Hearts’ 2-0 win at Rangers, and Celtic’s 0-0 draw at Ibrox means the pair have already made one trip to the west side of Glasgow.

However, as per the Daily Record, [10 October], former Gers striker Kyle Lafferty believes Gerrard returning to the club could spur an unlikely title charge.
