Gerrard rejects chance to return as Rangers boss

Steven Gerrard has turned down the chance to return to Rangers for a second stint as manager.

The former Liverpool and England captain held talks with the Scottish Premiership club's hierarchy earlier this week following Russell Martin's dismissal as head coach on Sunday.

Gerrard was previously in charge at Ibrox between 2018 and 2021, winning the Scottish title in the 2020-21 season.

The 45-year-old has recently expressed a desire to return to management following unsuccessful spells with Aston Villa and Saudi club Al-Ettifaq, but withdrew from the interview process on Saturday.
