Steven Gerrard shares sun-kissed beach clip from Middle East amid Rangers links

Steven Gerrard appears to still be sunning it up in the Middle East despite strong links to the Rangers job.

Talk of the 44-year-old returning to the Ibrox hotseat after four years away has been growing in recent days, to the point Jim White was yesterday claiming it was happening and he was taking Steven Davis and Jordan Henderson with him as assistants.

It had been claimed Gerrard and Russell Martin were in a two-horse race for the job and then it emerged the latter was the frontrunner for Leicester City.

Other names like Davide Ancelotti have been very strongly quoted but the Gerrard murmurings have grown and grown, especially as Djibril Cisse announced he had pulled out of a charity match for "professional reasons".

However, it would appear the former Gers boss is still in Bahrain, where he lived when manager of Saudi side Al-Ettifaq.

This morning he posted a video to his Instagram story, taken from the sea as he showed off a sun-kissed beach with golden sand and clear blue water.

He tagged the Four Seasons Hotel at Bahrain Bay.

This would appear to suggest he is still chilling out in the Middle East and despite claims his appointment at Rangers could be imminent, if of course the video is taken today.
