Steven Gerrard Snubs Rangers Return
According to sources, Steven Gerrard rejected 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 aimed to appoint a new manager during the international break, following Martin's sacking after a draw against Falkirk. However, with Gerrard no longer an option, they will consider alternative candidates from their four-man shortlist.
Rangers will not be pushing ahead with plans for his return to Ibrox, four years after he left to join Aston Villa.
