# Rangers: Hutton shares Steven Gerrard fears

**Former Glasgow Rangers defender Alan Hutton has shared his fears over Steven Gerrard leaving the Gers for a Premier League club this summer.**

### **The Lowdown: Gerrard linked with exit**

Earlier this year, Gerrard was linked with a move to Liverpool after it was suggested Jurgen Klopp could leave the Reds ([The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-jurgen-klopp-steven-gerrard-23577524)).

While that particular link has since quietened down, both Wolves ([The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/2620089/2021/05/29/wolves-bruno-lage-to-have-work-permit-hearing-on-wednesday/)) and [Everton](https://theathletic.com/news/carlo-ancelotti-real-madrid-next-manager-everton/CB69EnpalM5F?source=twitteruk) are said to have been in pursuit of the Gers boss more recently.

### **The Latest: Hutton shares exit fears**

[Speaking to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/hutton-makes-rangers-nightmare-claim-after-gerrard-update-via-athletic/), Hutton has admitted he is worried Gerrard could leave the 55-time Scottish champions. He said when asked if he was worried:

> *“Yeah, of course. I think it will be every Rangers fan’s nightmare knowing how well he’s done.*
>
> *“He’s come in, it’s taken him a few seasons to settle in but we’re seeing how good he actually is as a manager at the moment and what he can bring to the table.*
>
> *“With this managerial merry-go-round that literally is happening down south, there’s going to be opportunities. It doesn’t matter who you are. You want to be working or playing at the highest level possible.*
>
> *“There’s a lot of money down south. If there’s an opportunity to go to a team and rebuild a team at a high level, of course you’re going to have to think about it. It’s only natural.*
>
> *“I’m worried as a Rangers fan. We know how good a job Gerrard’s done and people will be looking at him.”*

### **The Verdict: Not yet**

It seems inevitable Gerrard will leave the Gers to move some south at some point. The 41-year-old, who earns £2.5m a year at Ibrox (£48,000 a week, [The Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1214584/Steven-Gerrard-salary-net-worth-Rangers-Celtic-news)), has done a fantastic job in Glasgow, leading Rangers to their first major trophy in 10 years. However, he is a Liverpool legend and an Englishman, and will therefore always likely be interested in a move back home.

Having said that, it feels unlikely that he will leave this summer. Rangers’ Premiership title means they have qualified for the Champions League third qualifying round. A run in Europe’s premier club competition is surely too big a challenge to pass up on.
