Steven Gerrard Snubs Rangers Return
According to sources, Steven Gerrard declined a return to Ibrox due to concerns that Rangers would not match his ambitions.
Rangers' search for a replacement for Russell Martin has hit a roadblock after talks with Gerrard collapsed. Despite initial positive discussions, the plans for his appointment have been abandoned.
The club had held talks with Gerrard on October 10, just days after Martin's departure following a draw against Falkirk. However, the negotiations ultimately fell through, and Rangers will now explore alternative options.
As previously reported, Rangers have a four-man managerial shortlist, which they will consider in their ongoing search for a new manager.
Rangers will not be pushing ahead with plans for Gerrard's return to Ibrox, four years after he left to join Aston Villa.
