Kenny Dalglish weighs in on Rangers return debate for Steven Gerrard and shares his Ibrox January transfer verdict

Kenny Dalglish doesn’t believe close friend Steven Gerrard would return to the Rangers dug-out following his sacking at Aston Villa but insists whoever is in charge when the next transfer window opens will have to drastically improve the squad.

Pressure has been mounting on Giovanni van Bronckhorst following a horror Champions League campaign but it eased slightly due to the thumping 4-1 win over Aberdeen at Ibrox on Saturday. However, the idea of Gerrard returning has been floated following his departure from Villa Park.

The axe fell on thew Scouser just short of a year of him leaving Govan for the Midlands but Dalglish doesn’t believe the Liverpool and England legend would be up for a return. And he says whoever is in charge must perform surgery on the squad in January. Writing in his column for the Sunday Post, Scotland icon Dalglish said: “It’s even been suggested that some Bluenoses would like to see Steven Gerrard back in charge after he and Aston Villa parted company. That scenario is completely hypothetical, and only Steven would know what he would do if he was ever offered another chance on Glasgow’s south side.
