Steve Gerrard has revealed why he rejected the opportunity to return to Rangers as manager just a matter of weeks ago.

The Scottish side sacked Russell Martin on October 5 after a disastrous start to the season, and Gerrard, who managed the club between 2018 and 2021, was one of their first picks to step into the hotseat.

Speaking to TNT Sports, the Liverpool legend has now opened up on his talks with the club and revealed why he rejected the chance to return to Ibrox.

'In terms of Rangers, very close,' he said.
