"Glasgow "Rangers" hope to announce next week that Steven Gerrard will be the new team coach, reveals football news portal Goal.com sources. The legend of the English national team should replace Graeme Murty, who currently leads the Scottish team, and leave his job in the "Liverpool" U-18 team. Another former "Liverpool" representative, Gary McAllister, is expected to become the assistant coach. Meanwhile, on the other side of the barricade - at the helm of Glasgow "Celtic" - Gerrard will find Brendan Rodgers, who led him at Liverpool. His proteges in Scotland have dominated in recent years, with "Rangers" competing for the second position with Edinburgh "Hibernian" and "Aberdeen". Gerrard's task will be to reduce the gap from "Celtic" despite a significantly smaller budget. This was the main subject of negotiations in the media. Before agreeing to the offer from "Rangers", the Englishman sought guarantees that he would be able to release the necessary amounts of money for player transfers and salaries.
