Steven Gerrard has ended negotiations to return as Rangers' head coach, despite being a fan favorite to replace Russell Martin. The decision was influenced by timing and personal circumstances. Gerrard, a former Liverpool captain currently residing in Bahrain, held constructive talks with the club but ultimately felt it was not the right moment. During meetings in London, he discussed potential coaching staff changes and new team signings. Rangers, currently eighth in the Scottish Premiership and struggling in international competitions, continue their search for a new head coach, considering candidates like Danny Röhl, Graham Potter, and Gary O'Neil. Stephen Smith, a former Rangers player, will temporarily lead training sessions.
