Made up for Stevie, wish him all the best in his new position and hope he gets all the success his hard work and devotion to the game should merit.
Rangers are a massive Club, this is a massive job but guess what? Stevie knows this and he is willing to take it on. This is Steven Gerrard, he is a leader of men, he has all the characteristics required to succeed. Players will want to play under Stevie, he commands respect, he has been there and done it (as a player), who's to say he can't do it as a manager also? Stevie is massively respected by everyone in football. Are we not forgetting that Brendan Rodgers was asking Stevie to tap players up for him via text messages?
Gerrard has serious F***ing clout, some mother F***ing gargantuan clout. Stevie will have access to players at Liverpool too, i can't think of a better League to harden youngsters than Scotland. It may not be a quality league but it is a harsh environment and a very physically demanding League. I think it's a ideal environment to blood our youth and prospects.
Think of it this way, if you were going to war would you go with Gerrard or Rodgers?
Whether he'll have the backing he has been promised will materialise sooner or later but for now let's get behind him.
As for the hatred among Rangers and Celtic supporters, that will always be there, that will never change. Tribalism exists in all aspects of life, not just in football. Stevie will thrive in this type of environment, he will love it.
