Liverpool legend and U18’s manager Steven Gerrard has reportedly been offered the manager’s job by SPFL side Rangers.
According to Goal, the two parties have held discussions over the post and Gerrard is now weighing up his options.
Rangers have been managed by caretaker boss Graeme Murty since Pedro Caixinha was sacked in October, and Murty has kept Rangers in second, albeit 10 points behind Celtic with four games remaining.
Rangers chairman Dave King was spotted at Anfield earlier this week as the Reds overcame Roma, where Gerrard was working as a pundit for BT Sport.
Gerrard has made no secret of his ambitions to become a manager since retiring as a player and turned down the MK Dons job before joining Liverpool’s academy.
The former Liverpool captain took his youngsters to play a friendly at Ibrox earlier this seaosn, saying after the match:
I’ll never forget when I’m invited to Ibrox. It’s an iconic stadium. I’ve got a lot of respect for this football club and it’s history and tradition – and that’s the reason why we took the invitation up. I had to take the opportunity to bring my team up to experience playing in front of that stadium, just being in the surroundings, in the dressing room – it’s a wonderful place.
If the 37-year-old were to move north of the border, he could come up against Brendan Rodgers who is the current boss at Celtic, although Rodgers has been linked with a move away in recent times.
Rodgers was, of course, in charge at Liverpool when the club came agonisingly close to winning the Premier League in 2014.
