The Steven Gerrard Rangers factor that makes Leeds United a 'great shout' as key trait revealed

Steven Gerrard's time in the dugout at Rangers and Aston Villa makes him a 'great shout' for the Leeds United job.

The Liverpool icon was heralded for stopping Celtic's ten-in-a-row plight but did manage only one trophy from a potential nine before being pinched by Villa in 2021.
