Liverpool have been told there is a “zero per cent chance” of Steven Gerrard returning to Anfield any time soon, with Dave King expecting a Merseyside native to stick around at Rangers on the back of a memorable Scottish Premiership title triumph.
The Gers, fresh from preventing Old Firm rivals Celtic from completing a historic run of 10-in-a-row, have a highly-rated coach tied to a contract through to 2024.
Those in Glasgow acknowledge that Gerrard will want to return to his roots at some stage, potentially when Jurgen Klopp heads for the exits at Liverpool, but King cannot see that path being trodden “in the near future”.
