Celtic Would be INTIMIDATED with Rangers Potential Manager Set to Replace Barry Ferguson and Restore Glory Days at Ibrox

Celtic to be Thrilled with Rangers’ Potential Gerrard Appointment

The speculation surrounding Rangers’ next manager has intensified, with Steven Gerrard once again being linked to the job. According to Michael Grant, a journalist for The Times, Celtic would be “pretty happy” if Gerrard were to be appointed as Rangers’ next manager.

Gerrard’s Previous Success

Gerrard’s previous stint at Rangers was a successful one, leading the team to the Scottish Premiership title in the 2020-21 season. However, Grant believes that the current Rangers team is a much different one, and Gerrard would face significant challenges in turning the situation around.

“Celtic would be pretty happy,” Grant said. “He wasn’t up against a Brendan Rodgers or even an Ange Postecoglou Celtic. Whoever comes in now is up against a Rodgers Celtic that is probably going to have a treble on board. They have even more financial advantages than they had when Gerrard was there the first time.”

Rangers Need to Get it Right

Rangers are currently 15 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, and it’s crucial that they get their next managerial appointment right. The team is in need of major surgery, and the American consortium behind the club have their work cut out in the backroom too.

Gerrard’s Managerial Record

Gerrard’s managerial record since leaving Rangers has been mixed, with struggles at Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq raising doubts over his abilities. Grant believes that Rangers should be more ambitious in their targets for the vacancy, rather than going back to Gerrard, who won one title in a down year for their rivals and still has a lot to prove.

Conclusion

The potential appointment of Steven Gerrard as Rangers’ next manager has sparked debate among fans and pundits. While Gerrard’s previous success at Rangers is undeniable, the current team’s challenges and Gerrard’s managerial record raise questions over whether he would be the right fit. One thing is certain – Rangers need to get their next appointment right if they want to close the gap with Celtic.
