Gerrard is the favourite for Rangers job

Rangers are currently being managed by caretaker Graeme Murty, who took over in October, however the Scottish side are now on the hunt for a new boss. 

The frontrunner for the job is former Liverpool player Steven Gerrard, and contact has been made between the two parties over a possible move. 

Gerrard, who is now 37 years old, is currently in charge of the Liverpool U18s side, and it is rumoured that if he were to make the move up North, he would bring fellow former Liverpool player Gary McAllister along with him as assistant. 

Speaking ahead of Liverpool's clash with Stoke City, Jurgen Klopp gave Gerrard his backing for the job if he wants it. 

"I am not worried," the senior manager said when asked about Gerrard. "Whatever he wants to do we will support him in that. There is no decision."

"I can imagine clubs are interested in signing Stevie, [he has] massive experience as a player so I would think about him signing for a club. We will support him in all directions."
