Rangers are now on the look out for a new manager after sacking Russell Martin after only 123 days in the dugout.

The Ibrox club currently sit eighth in the Scottish Premiership with only one win out of seven league games.

It’s been a shocking start for the Light Blues as they are on the hunt to appoint their 21st permanent manager in the club’s 153 year history.

Former Gers boss Steven Gerrard is the bookies favourite to make a return to Glasgow four years after departing the club for Aston Villa.

Gerrard had huge success at the Govan club as he won their first league title in ten years and going invincible in the 2020/2021.

One player who thrived under the footballing icon at Rangers was Jermain Defoe who made 74 appearances and scored 32 goals.

The former England international has completed his coaching badges and previously had a spell at Tottenham Hotspur’s Academy.

Defoe has always expressed that he would be keen in returning to the club one day in some capacity.

The former striker’s stance hasn’t changed as he told Sky Sports News he jump at the opportunity to go back to the Teddy Bears:

“I’ve done all my coaching badges and if I got an opportunity to come back to that club to help this group of players then it would be a no-brainer.”

“It’s well documented, the time I had there and winning arguably the most important league in the club’s history.”I understood when you put on a Rangers shirt you have to win and the demands and the standards.”
