Gerrard confirms talks with Rangers – gives date for possible conclusion

Steven Gerrard has tonight confirmed talks with Rangers, that there’s ‘truth in the rumours’ and that he is busy over the next two days but will continue discussions on Thurday.

Speaking on BT Sport for Champions League duties, the 37-year old verified how interested he is in the job, but poured cold water over claims in the press tonight that the deal has been concluded.

The Liverpool legend has been in discussions which he says are ‘progressing well’ with the Ibrox hierarchy and if all is pure and holy we could, as we reported on the site yesterday, have a conclusion by the end of this week.

Gerrard was clearly not put off by the Old Firm disaster nor the melee surrounding the job, and indeed seems even more keen to become Rangers manager and get one over on Celtic and their manager, Brendan Rodgers.

Keep them peeled here, folks.
