Gerrard has been offered a three-year contract and has accepted the position after Rangers sacked Graeme Murty today.

The Liverpool under-18s coach has been in talks with Ibrox bosses over the post since last week.

And he was now agreed to take over in Glasgow after ironing out the details of his deal.

That is according to the Daily Star, who claim Gerrard will now spend the next few weeks ‘assessing the squad from a distance’ in order to plot a transfer strategy.

Gerrard himself was coy over confirming the deal when asked on BT Sport on Tuesday night, suggesting an announcement will not be made until after his TV punditry commitments in the Champions League this week.

“Yeah there’s truth in the rumours," Gerrard said.
