Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard confirmed he will hold further negotiations with Rangers over the vacant managerial job at Ibrox on Thursday after "positive" early talks. Rangers sacked Graeme Murty on Tuesday following Sunday's 5-0 thrashing at the hands of bitter rivals Celtic that saw Brendan Rodgers's men seal a seventh consecutive Scottish Premiership title. "There's an interest, there's been initial talks and the plan is to pick them up in a couple of days time," Gerrard told BT Sport, who he works for as a pundit on top of his duties as Liverpool's under-18's coach. Gerrard will be in Rome on Wednesday as Liverpool aim to reach the Champions League final, holding a 5-2 first leg lead over Roma. However, on his return to the UK, the former England captain plans to meet once more with the Rangers hierarchy.
