Steven Gerrard to play AGAINST Rangers for Liverpool legends in star-studded friendly at Ibrox

Steven Gerrard is to pull the boots back on in a glamour friendly at Ibrox ... AGAINST Rangers.

The Ibrox manager will captain a Liverpool Legends side in the fixture against a home team made up of icons including Michael Mols, Richard Gough and many others.

But it will be the chance to see Gerrard in action at Ibrox - for the first time since he became manager in 2018 - which will draw the most attention.

The 39-year-old will skipper a Reds side including Jamie Carragher, Patrik Berger, Jason McAteer and Luis Garcia for the game on Saturday, October 12, during the international break.

He remains a legend at Liverpool after a 17-year career in which he famously led the Anfield club to Champions League glory in 2005.

Alex McLeish will manage the Rangers side which is to be captained by 9 in a row hero Gough, 57, who said: "It will be a pleasure to pull on my boots once again and run out at Ibrox.

"I'm expecting this to be a really competitive game and it will be an exciting match for both fans or Rangers and Liverpool to enjoy.

"I know that the Gers fans will come out in their numbers to see a well-contested game of football and some of the greatest players to have ever played the game."

Opposite number McAteer said: "I'm delighted to be playing at Ibrox next month.

"There are some fantastic Legends in the mix so it's set to be a competitive and entertaining game for the fans."

Dutch legend Mols limbered up for the clash at the weekend by climbing Ben Nevis for the Rangers Charity Foundation.

He was joined by Marco Negri who later posted a video of the pair nearing the summit of Scotland's highest peak - with the Italian proving his fitness by doing some press-ups on his way.
