Steven Gerrard is no no rush to return to Ibrox.
After sacking Russell Martin on Sunday attention switched to the former Aston Villa boss who has been out of work since being sacked by Al Ettifaq in January.
After going off message to appoint Martin in June the club owners are determined to appoint someone guaranteed the approval of the angry bears.
GENERATION OF FAILURE
Gerrard ticks all of those boxes. A generation of fans have only one title success in their lifetime. Watching streams from empty stadiums brings back fond memories followed by rioting across Glasgow city centre.
Andrew Cavenagh has ‘jetted in’ from the USA to lead the search for a new manager. After the Martin appointment Kev Thelwell and Paddy Stewart have been by-passed.
Gerrard will have to report back to his boss in Bahrain over the Ibrox talks. Having stayed put in Merseyside in 2018 it is unlikely that Mrs G will give up life in the sun for the dubious delights of Bearsden in winter hoping that her man doesn’t get chased out of Falkirk.
Rangers have not made a final decision in their search for a new manager and sources at Ibrox again insist that the process is still ongoing.
Steven Gerrard held talks with the club this week. It is understood further interviews have still to take place.https://t.co/k2Wc3CAPYG

Chris Jack of the Rangers Review is the most loyal and trusted of messengers. The digital arm of Newsquest, replacing the Herald and Evening Times.
When message-boards get worked into a frenzy over good news Jack is usually chosen to piss on their chips. He delivers the bad news, reality.
It is now almost a week since Martin got escorted out of Falkirk, and eight days till Dundee United visit Ibrox. With eight points from seven SPFL matches the Ibrox club are in eighth place.
DAILY RECORD ON BOARD
Clearly no thought had been given to replacing Martin. Now Cavenagh has been dragged back into the spotlight.
As Plans B and C the Daily Record has been warming up their army of readers for Derek McInnes and Barry Ferguson.
Hearts would require compensation for their manager, appointing wee Barry brings the approval of legacy media led by the Record and Go Radio.
As an outsider Neil McCann used the BBC’s coverage of Scotland v Greece to promote himself as a tactical wizard. When it comes to self promotion the former Dundee boss is an expert.

Sorry way off topic but as much as I detest International football and given what happened to John Kennedy, I wonder if the fact that no Celtic players were in the Scotland starting 11 is a bit of a red flag.
Only two Ralston and Tierney qualified for the squad.
Feel free to ignore.
To whom ?
Clark should never manage another game. If scotland in this current set up get through they will be utterly humiliated. Lets hope no celtic players are involved
The statement is quite simple,
In 2025 no Celtic player is deemed worthy of a start in a Scottish jersey by a Scottish manager..
Are we buying too many overseas guys and not the cream of the Scottish crop?
I suppose McGinn is a classic example.
It wasn’t that long ago I think we had around 7 in the starting 11 which wasn’t ideal.
Perhaps the 49Gers checked Slippy’s record pre Covid. Found it was pants!!
Maybe put my Gerrard twopence worth in. These 49ers don’t seem to have a clue. They appointed 4 stanchers and when that failed they then had a go at a bringing in human being in Martin and now Gerrard.
In the video of the hotel confrontation, a fan loses it on being asked who he would have as manager. It was probably a rhetorical question but maybe not, as they seem to be limping along trying to appease the crowd
Gerrard’s record is appalling and his only success was down to Lawwell and Lennon but it will get the hoards of their backs in the short term.
They seem to have got themselves in something they couldn’t have imagined.
You mean to say the daily Record got wee Scotty to personally phone , erm , in person Kyle ‘ take a picture of this ‘ Lafferty for his theRangers opinion for nothing if Gerrard does another runner ? That was a waste of dwindling Record funds on someone who is more into photography than football . I hope wee Scotty got a receipt , or maybe it was the pals act ?
It’s useful media attention for Gerrard, as it advertises his availability to other clubs,
maybe in the English Championship?
Think he might be a bit too expensive / demanding for the new owners,
even if he was interested?
A semi-retired, well known manager with a ‘Rangers legned’ as his assistant,
would be the much cheaper – and an acceptable option – for the bears…?
The media have got him winning the league this year
are ignoring him getting chased out of Aston Villa
and are describing his spell in Saudi as ‘ Difficult ‘
The media are Pathological Liars Harold…
Don’t believe a word these despicable bastards scribble outta their crayons !
Oh dear how sad, too ? bad
As was said Mrs G would not want to give up the sun for a Bearsden winter, and knowing that they could not bring their daughter Lourdes to Glasgow with them! Why would they come once again into that place where their kids would be subject to sectarian abuse? He will not come back to that!,
