The Rangers fans in the Transfer Tavern have been reacting to comments from Arsenal legend and pundit, Ian Wright, as he discussed whether or not the Steven Gerrard would be a good fit at Ibrox. The 37-year-old is currently managing Liverpool’s U18 side but has been heavily linked with a move to Glasgow and Ian Wright, whilst speaking on Sky Sports’ The Debate, backed him for the job and claimed it would be “perfect” for him to start his managerial career.
The Rangers job is "perfect" for Steven Gerrard at this stage of his coaching career, says @IanWright0. https://t.co/KtP1jcuFA4

Steven Gerrard has been coaching with Liverpool’s U18s since he hung up his boots in 2016 after a short spell with LA Galaxy. The Liverpool legend has had his name in the papers over the last few weeks as Rangers have been hotting up their pursuit of a manager for next season. The Gers sacked Pedro Caixinha in October and put Graeme Murty in interim charge of the club whilst they began the search for their next gaffer.
Now, with the season almost over in Scotland and Rangers left dejected with nothing to play for, Gerrard’s appointment would provide a lift for the club who could go into pre-season with hopes of success next year. Although another option may be on the table for Gerrard. Jurgen Klopp’s number two, Zeljko Buvac has been given gardening leave by the club and has been rumoured with a Liverpool exit in the summer. If Buvac was to leave, Gerrard would be the club’s ideal replacement as the club’s assistant manager and the fan would have no complaints with him.

Poisoned chalice more like! Got to be one of the worst run football clubs in the country which is a shame because there is so much potential. Can't think of one player who would get in the current Celtic team.

What does he offer Rangers, other than his name? Didn’t stick with the U18s long did he
