Rangers secured their 55th League title this season, with Steven Gerrard doing an exceptional job at Ibrox since taking over as manager. The Rangers boss was recently linked with a return to Liverpool as a potential replacement for Jurgen Klopp. The Reds have had a mediocre season by their standards, but it would be hugely surprising if they decided to part ways with the German manager. Klopp has helped them win the Premier League and the Champions League over the last two season, and their struggles this time around can be attributed to their horrendous luck with injuries. There is no doubt that the Reds need to be patient with Klopp and give him the chance to rebuild the side once again. As for Gerrard, he is still a young manager who is relatively inexperienced, and he should look ...
