Ibrox View: Steven Gerrard question may remain after Rangers loss vs Hearts

Steven Gerrard will always be linked with the Rangers job as long as he’s out of management.

Danny Rohl has seen his title hopes effectively end in the William Hill Premiership after the Gers lost 2-1 to Hearts at Tynecastle Park.

The German manager is feeling the heat from some sections of the Ibrox fanbase after underwhelming performances from the Light Blues in recent weeks.

Supporters in G51 are now wondering whether Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises should consider a managerial change after the 37-year-old head coach failed to win silverware this season.

Gerrard’s fairytale return to Ibrox has been a hot topic since last summer and the Liverpool icon may once again be in the headlines as the Govan side make preparations for the 2026-27 campaign.

Danny Rohl to look over shoulder after Rangers loss vs Hearts

Rohl has looked demotivated in his recent press conferences and Gers fans haven’t taken too kindly to the last few results.

Having witnessed the Light Blues lose back-to-back league games for the first time since March 2018, supporters in G51 will arguably be having second thoughts about the German manager.

The former Sheffield Wednesday boss’ appointment got a mixed reception from the Ibrox faithful, and despite the turnaround in form since the start of the season, there are still concerns around him.

It doesn’t take long for supporters of the two Glaswegian outfits to turn on their managers if things aren’t going to plan and Rohl could find that out soon if he loses to Celtic next.

Steven Gerrard may not get Ibrox return

Gerrard was one of the candidates Rangers were linked with before Russell Martin and Rohl got the job.

It looks like the former England international is ready to step back into management, but it remains to be seen where he will end up in the coming months.

In all likelihood, Cavenagh will want to keep Rohl on for the foreseeable future after finding some success under him.

This season was always going to be one of transition, especially after Martin’s dismissal, and the German manager will truly be judged on the results he gets in the 2026-27 campaign.
