What the expert says...
Steven Gerrard remains favourite to return to Ibrox
Steven Gerrard was installed as the early favourite to be the next Rangers boss and has since moved into 15/8 in the market to get the job next.
Gerrard was Rangers boss from 2018 to 2021 where his side won the Scottish Premiership title in the 2020-21 season without losing a single game.
The English manager and former Liverpool player then left the club for Aston Villa in November 2021 but nearly four years on could make a shock return to Ibrox.
