Steven Gerrard has turned down an offer to return as Glasgow Rangers manager, citing poor timing despite positive talks with the club’s hierarchy following previous manager Russell Martin’s sacking after just 8 games.
The former Liverpool captain, who led Rangers to the 2020–21 Scottish Premiership title during his previous stint, remains open to a future reunion but has withdrawn from the current process.
Gerrard, 45, is keen to revive his managerial career after disappointing spells with Aston Villa and Saudi club Al-Ettifaq. His decision leaves Rangers still searching for a new head coach as they languish eighth in the table, having won just once in seven league games.
