In what has sent shockwaves across Scottish football, Steven Gerrard has finally broken his silence on growing speculation linking him with a sensational return to Rangers FC, following the sacking of Russell Martin.
Martin’s turbulent reign at Ibrox came to an abrupt end after Rangers’ disappointing 1-1 draw with Falkirk on Sunday, October 5th, a result that proved to be the final straw for frustrated supporters. The atmosphere around Ibrox turned hostile as fans voiced their anger with chants echoing through the stands and even blocking the team bus from leaving the stadium — a clear message that change was inevitable.
With the managerial seat now vacant, all eyes have turned to Gerrard, who remains one of the most revered figures in the club’s recent history. The former Liverpool and England captain led Rangers to their historic 55th league title in the 2020/21 season, ending a decade-long wait and halting Celtic’s pursuit of a tenth consecutive championship.
Rumours of Gerrard’s possible comeback have dominated headlines and social media, with many fans urging the club’s hierarchy to “bring Stevie G home.” Bookmakers have already installed him as the odds-on favourite to take over once again.
However, in response to the swirling speculation, Gerrard has opted for a cautious tone. Speaking exclusively to reporters, the former Rangers boss said:
> “I love the club so much. I have good memories of my time there, and Rangers will always have a special place in my heart. But you never know in football — things can change quickly. For now, I’m still here and wouldn’t want to comment much on the issue.”
Gerrard’s diplomatic response has done little to cool the excitement among Rangers supporters, many of whom believe his return could reignite the club’s spirit and bring back the high standards he once instilled.
One fan wrote on X: “Steven Gerrard built this team once; he can do it again. The players need that passion and leadership back.” Another commented, “It feels like fate — Stevie G belongs at Ibrox.”
While Gerrard’s current focus remains away from Glasgow, insiders suggest that the Rangers board is already considering formal talks, viewing him as the ideal figure to restore order after a turbulent spell.
For now, the Blue half of Glasgow waits anxiously — hoping that the man who brought them back to the top could soon walk through the Ibrox doors once again.
