Steven Gerrard wants to make an emotional return to Rangers.
That's according to his former Liverpool teammate Stephane Henchoz.
Gerrard left Ibrox in the autumn of 2021, as he headed for Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Things haven't gone to plan as far as his managerial career goes since then, having been sacked by the Villans, before an indifferent 18 month spell in charge of Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League.
Philippe Clement is now gone having been sacked by Rangers last week. Barry Ferguson is in interim charge of first-team matters until the end of the season.
But Henchoz reckons that Gerrard would like another crack of the hotseat at Ibrox, insisting a reunion would make sense.
Speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Cheltenham betting, Henchoz said: "I think Steven Gerrard going back to Rangers would 100% make sense, he delivered at Rangers during his first spell and I think the fans would be pleased.
"You’d have to ask him but I have the feeling that he wants to go back there because of how well it went and how much he was loved.
"At the moment the club are in a very difficult situation, Barry Ferguson has come in as caretaker manager, we will have to see how things go until the end of the season. I think Steven Gerrard would be a very good solution for the summer.

"At the moment Celtic are far away from Rangers, I was there to see them play Young Boys in the Champions League and they played great football, had great movement and they have great technical players.
"That’s enough to win the title in Scotland. I was surprised at how well they did in the Champions League. They have struggled in the past but qualified quite comfortably and then almost took Bayern Munich to extra time in which anything could’ve happened.
"I’ve been really impressed with Brendan Rodgers and at the moment, they are far ahead of Rangers."
