It has been bubbling away over the last month but tonight #gerrardout is trending on Twitter.
The fist pumping at Celtic Park two months ago is a distant memory for the Liverpool legend who has to overturn a 12 point SPFL deficit if he is to avoid a second season of failure. Unless of course the Europa League makes a highly unexpected trip up the marble staircase.
Ibrox fans were expressing their concern from the moment that the team was announced. Alfredo Morelos’ absence seemed to back up the rumours of disharmony that have built up since the winter training camp in Dubai.
Greg Stewart was an empty jersey at centre-forward with Jermain Defoe barely getting a look in when he was thrown on to turn the game around.
Euro hero George Edmondson looked a bombscare in defence where he complimented Connor Goldston and James Tavernier perfectly.
An hour after the final whistle no post match quotes have emerged from the away dressing room at Tynecastle.
Gerrard and the Ibrox directors will know exactly what is being said. At the moment #gerrardout is only trending on Twitter, soon it will be time for the rookie boss to follow Pedro Mendes and Mark Warburton into Costies garden.
STEVEN GERRARD GET THE F**K OUT OF #RANGERS

I knew from kick-off we’d lose this game, this team and this manager only turn up in European games. The league title race was over and as we’ve now were useless in the Cup games too. I’ve given Gerrard this benefit of the doubt for weeks but this is getting pathetic. #gerrardout https://t.co/Y528QVU1hO

Steven Gerrard is destined to never win a league title, and as we’ve now seen, useless in the Cup. #gerrardout
