It seems that after the initial excitement of an approach from Sevco, Steven Gerrard has started to get cold feet over the chance to manage at Ibrox.
The former Liverpool skipper is street-wise and knows his way around social media which is littered with warning signs about believing the promises of Dave King.
Listening to Paul Merson, Allan Smith, Chris Sutton and others describe taking on Sevco as career suicide must be having an impact with the action from Celtic Park yesterday highlighting the utter poverty that he would be inheriting on the park.

Bracing The People for bad news The Times warns:
Steven Gerrard will hold more talks with Rangers as he considers whether to accept an offer to manage the club. His decision will not have been made easier by the humiliation the team suffered against Celtic yesterday, when a 5-0 win for Brendan Rodgers’s side earned them their seventh consecutive league title.
Gerrard was thought to have been close to accepting the job to replace the caretaker Graeme Murty but although there was speculation that the nature of Rangers’ defeat might see Murty removed for the final three games of the Ladbrokes Premiership season, Gerrard, the former Liverpool and England midfielder, is understood to be keen for more talks before making a decision.
Unless he has an ego the size of Sevco’s debt, or soft loans as they prefer to call them, the lure of going to Ibrox must be diminishing by the hour.
As he turns his attention to Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final in Rome the option to stay put with the Liverpool youth side must be strong.
With Dave King avoiding city regulations the chances increase of Gerrard walking away with Steve Clarke and Derek McInnes realising that things just aren’t as they used to be in the old tax dodging days at Ibrox.
