Steven Gerrard sees Rangers heroics set the questions in wide ranging Gary Neville interview

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has provided an insight into all things from his favourite players to TV shows - with a Rangers twist.

The Liverpool icon left Ibrox last year after guiding the club to their first Premiership title since, ending Celtic's bid for 10 In A Row.

He's now in the midst of his first Premier League job with the Villans, where the former midfielder currently has them mid-table after averting relegation danger.

Teaming up with ex-England teammate Gary Neville on the Manchester United legend's Overlap YouTube channel, Gerrard has answered 32 questions surrounding him.

Why such a specific number? As Neville revealed at the start of their conversation, it's a nod to Rangers winning 32 matches on their way to title glory.

There was time for a chat on those he'd wished to have played alongside, and when asked which current Premier League players he’d like to have played with, Gerrard said: “Mo Salah.

“I love Bruno Fernandes, I know (Gary Neville) might not agree with that. I really like him.

“Kevin de Bruyne, for sure, 100 per cent. He’s one of the best in the world. Defensive wise, I think Virgil (Van Dijk) is out of this world.”

Chatting at Aston Villa 's training ground, The 41-year-old said his favourite TV show is The Office, while his number one band is Coldplay.

A 'Full Monty' Italian is his dish of choice, but people being late provides a bugbear for Rangers' former boss. Although you won't see him fining his playing squad.

He added: "There is a fine system but the players dominate that. It's important they control their own dressing room. I don't want to be one of these managers who fine people left, right and centre."
