‘Disrespect’ – British manager leaves door open to Rangers move as McInnes challenge outlined

Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard expressed his support for current manager Derek McInnes while addressing speculation about a potential return to Ibrox. Speaking on Open Goal on October 4, Gerrard voiced total respect for McInnes, calling his Aberdeen team one of his toughest challenges as a coach. Gerrard noted he avoids attending matches at Ibrox to prevent distracting or disrespecting the current manager.

Ibrox News writer Aheed Abrar highlights that fans will appreciate Gerrard wishing McInnes success so Rangers do not need to look for another manager. Gerrard led the Gers to the Scottish Premiership title in the 2020-21 campaign before departing for Aston Villa, while McInnes currently leads Rangers following the departure of Danny Rohl.
