'Absolute snake, hope you get them relegated': Rangers fans are left fuming after Steven Gerrard exits for Aston Villa ahead of their pivotal domestic and European clashes

A number of Rangers fans have been left enraged by the timing of Steven Gerrard's move to Aston Villa, after his departure was confirmed on Thursday morning.

The Liverpool legend took over at Ibrox in 2018, since leading the prolific club to a historic 55th Scottish Premiership title last season, breaking Celtic's sequence of nine in a row and going the entire league campaign unbeaten.

Gerrard now exits the club at a decisive stage of the season, with the Scottish champions sat just four points ahead of rivals Celtic, with a League Cup semi-final against Hibernian just 10 days away and qualification for the Europa League knockouts in their hands.
