Steven Gerrard admits Liverpool U-turn after making history with unbeaten Rangers

Steven Gerrard lifted the first league title of his career on Saturday as Rangers beat Aberdeen 4-0 to complete a miraculous season.

The 'Gers finished the campaign unbeaten and with a 100 per-cent record at Ibrox, capping off an incredible season for the club.

The league title came in Gerrard's third year as a manager, having joined Rangers in 2018 after Celtic won the title at a canter.

Gerrard has long been linked with the managerial hotseat at Liverpool, and it has previously seemed inevitable that he would one day take over from Jurgen Klopp.

But the Reds legend admitted on Saturday that he no longer considers himself a one-club man, and that Rangers now holds a special place in his heart.

"I mean, when I grew up as a kid I thought it was one club for life," he told Sky Sports.

"I've come through at Liverpool and had my career at Liverpool which I'm immensely proud of.

"I came up here with my eyes wide open to learn more about the club, I had a good idea from the outside but this has grabbed me, it's gripped me.

"It's a club like very few in the world. There's a lot of similarities with Liverpool.

"I'm happy here, I've got to make a lot of sacrifices family-wise, but I want more.

"This has given me a taste for more and I'm determined to build on it."

Gerrard is under contract at Rangers until 2024, having signed his new deal on the same day as Klopp signed an extension at Liverpool.

Both will become free agents in the same year, leading to speculation that the former midfielder will take over from the Premier League and Champions League-winning coach.

But Gerrard's comments on Saturday hint that he plans to stay north of the border for some time yet.
