Steven Gerrard: The man who delivered ’55’ to Rangers
Steven Gerrard is still held in high regard by the majority of Rangers fans, though some time was needed to heal the sting of his departure for Aston Villa in November 2021. Ultimately, though, he is the man who delivered ’55’ to Ibrox, ending Celtic’s nine-year reign as champions and ensuring they did not win a 10th in a row. Moreover, it was achieved in some style with Rangers not losing a single league match, racking 102 points and shipping only 13 goals in 38 games. There have been several times when Gerrard has reportedly been on the cusp of returning to Govan, and not many would rule out a future return.
Steven Gerrard’s managerial record
Gerrard was a hugely popular figure at Ibrox after delivering title number 55 in emphatic fashion, and he departed the club with an impressive 64.80 per cent win record. Since then, though, his managerial career has stalled badly. Check out his full record to date in the table below.
Steven Gerrard’s trophy cabinet
When Gerrard delivered 55 to Rangers, there was a sense and a hope that it would be the start of a trophy-laden career at Ibrox. Sadly, it did not transpire that way and that solitary Scottish Premiership triumph remains his only major honour as a manager thus far.
