Jamie Carragher has revised his theory on how long he thinks Steven Gerrard will stay at Rangers.
The Liverpool legend initially predicted his mate would try and get a Scottish Premiership title in the bag early to stop the ten then look to return south.
But Gerrard now has three years under his belt at Ibrox and has just ended a decade of Celtic dominance by running away with the league.
With a crack at the Champions League to come next season and no sign of the Hoops getting close to them, there appears little reason for Gerrard rto want to move on.
And Carragher now sees him staying out for longer than he originally may have planned, with winning the title in front of the fans now next on Gerrard’s list to tick off before he departs.
He told the Greatest Game podcast: “I initially thought that Stevie would go up to Scotland, try and stop 10 in a row, get his league and do three or four years, because he is away from home, and then come back to England and to the Premier League.
“That’s not something he ever said to me, but how long are you in a job normally?
“I actually think that being no supporters in there maybe has slightly taken the gloss off that title.
“I think, now, that Stevie will have that drive to dominate Scottish football for Rangers in the next few years.
“That’s not something he’s told me but he’ll want those supporters in there for European nights, he’ll want to win the league in front of supporters.
“I think Stevie now looks at this and thinks this could be a five or six year job, as opposed to a two of three year one when he first came in.”
