Steven Gerrard Al-Ettifaq move defended by Celtic hero Peter Grant with 'no qualms' response

Steven Gerrard's move to Al-Ettifaq has been strongly defended by Peter Grant who insists: 'I've got no qualms with that'.

The former Rangers and Aston Villa manager is back in the dugout after deciding to become the latest big name to make the move to the Saudi Pro League following two rounds of negotiations over the top job. The Liverpool and England hero was confirmed on Monday by his new club in a social media video that included his Celtic celebration from an Old Firm derby and the day he was unveiled as Ibrox gaffer.

Opinionated pundit Simon Jordan claimed Gerrard's reputation was 'in the toilet' after accepting his new role but he's been backed by Celtic hero Grant who reckons like every manager, he is just desperate to get back in and has wished him all the best in his latest dugout adventure.
