Given the situation of pressure around Giovanni van Bronckhorst, it is inevitable that other potential contenders will suggested for his role and with Steven Gerrard now out of work, well you know the rest.
Would he, could he return? Only Gerrard himself knows that for sure but it appears a very unlikely proposition, if and when the vacancy arises. For now and until the forseeable, Gio is the man in the hot seat with the Rangers board in no hurry to pull the trigger. They appear to be backing their man, giving him further time to allow injured players to return in the hope of an improvement n the pitch.
Let’s see how successful that turns out to be.
As for Gerrard, recent online talk has suggested an increased attraction for a potential return but it is all based on opinion and claim, from no direct sources. One of those was Kevin Campbell, as the former Everton and Arsenal striker told Football Insider:
“I think you could say there is potentially unfinished business there (at Rangers) for Steven Gerrard but I do not know.”
“I still think Gerrard will get work this end, in the Premier League or even in the Championship. I do think he will get the opportunity to work.”
“But, if that does open up at Rangers he might be tempted to go back. He was a revelation at the football club.”
Legacy
With no significant change at Ibrox in different aspects behind the scenes since Gerrard left, it is hard to put up a convincing argument as to why he would want to return to Glasgow so soon. He is far more likely to have designs on his next job being in England or maybe a new venture abroad.
The link and talk of a potential reunion is all about availability but it falls down in reality and probability. What is sure is that history will be kind to Steven Gerrard and his time at Rangers, with title number 55 securing a particular legacy that will endure.
