Rangers call in extra security – Gerrard announcement due?

According to Ibrox Noise sources extra police security has been called for tomorrow, with a press conference said to be due at Ibrox. The press will be briefed in the morning accordingly.

Normally Rangers’ pre-match pressers are conducted at Auchenhowie, but with the Steven Gerrard situation reaching fever pitch and the 37-year old presently in Glasgow negotiating, it is not hard to reach the conclusion over what this particular conference will be about.

Naturally, it could just be extra detail being called in and a traditional pre-match presser being held in Govan, but it is far from inconceivable that something Gerrard-related is imminent, although we cannot confirm that it is the case.

Whatever happens tomorrow, we must also not forget we have a match to play on Saturday, and it is absolutely critical to take the full three points – with 9 points left to play for, second place is not out of reach.

But if Gerrard is announced tomorrow, his presence on Saturday at Ibrox would sure help inspire the crowd and the players.

We’ll see.
