It remains to be seen who the Rangers end up appointing as their next manager. One thing is pretty clear though. The entire situation looks like a bit of a mess from the outside looking in. For a week, it was suggested that Steven Gerrard was almost certain to become the Ibrox boss again, only for him to turn the job down. And now, there is another twist in the situation which has left Celtic fans laughing.
It had been made pretty clear by reliable outlets in the media that Gerrard was not interested in becoming the Rangers manager right now. Instead, names like Kevin Muscat, Danny Rohl and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer emerged as candidates that the club had their eye on.
Despite this, it looks like a lot of Rangers fans are hoping that it is the Liverpool legend who gets the job again. Gerrard has once again emerged as the odds-on favourite to get the role.
That suggests that Rangers fans might not be convinced with the names that have been suggested as alternatives. But the issue is, there are believed to be no talks between Gerrard and the club at the moment. He has even flown back to Bahrain.
Another Steven Gerrard to Rangers U-turn as Celtic fans left laughing
To be honest, there is very little chance that Gerrard will make a U-turn and join the Rangers now, no matter how much their fans hope that it happens. Of course, anything can happen in football.
In fact, some of the alternatives suggested might be better managers than him. The heart wants what it wants though.
As for Celtic, they have their own problems at the moment. But at least this Rangers situation has lifted the mood of the fans a bit after weeks of nothing but negativity around Parkhead.
