Watch: Steven Gerrard in X-rated 'I love Rangers' quip

Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard exclaimed his love for the club in an X-rated video that circulated on social media on Friday evening. 

The 44-year-old, who is currently out of work after resigning as manager of Al-Etiffaq in January, led the Ibrox club to their 55th Scottish Premiership title back in 2021.

He then departed for Aston Villa in November of the same year, although he lasted less than a year in charge in the Midlands. 

With Rangers on the lookout for a permanent successor to Philippe Clement this summer, and Gerrard a free agent, he has naturally been mooted as a potential option. 

In a video circulating on X on Friday night, he outlined his love for his old club, exclaiming, 'I love Rangers'. 

It remains to be seen who will take charge at Ibrox this summer. Barry Ferguson is currently at the helm and will be until the season's end after being named interim head coach when Clement departed. 

Jamie Murphy, who played under Gerrard, thinks he would undoubtedly improve the club if he returned: "I think it's easy to look at records," he said [Go Radio]. 

"Ultimately, that is what people will look at, but when he came into Rangers we were a bit of a shambles in terms of managers and directors had fallen out, we didn't have the right training kit, the training ground needed fixed - everything.

"He brought in his staff and got them to the level that they were good enough to win the league. That is what Rangers fans wanted.

"It is not quite in the state it was when he first took it over, but if he was to come in there would certainly be improvement.

"The improvement that went through Rangers first time around was there for everyone to see."
