After stunning Braga in Portugal to advance to the next round of the UEFA Europa League last week, Rangers bottled their chances at winning some domestic silverware after losing to Hearts in the Scottish Cup this past weekend.
Of course, there is still a chance that they could win the league title at the end of the season, but Celtic would have to drop at least nine points. The Gers are currently 12 points behind with a game in hand.
However, despite the side’s inexplicable drop of form in 2020, there are many fans who are fully behind Steven Gerrard. Rangers’ fan account WATP suggested that Gerrard should be fully backed going forward. Many Rangers fans responded, claiming that they agree.
Well said ???

Backing him 100% but time will tell if he’s the right man. Still think he’s either stubborn or naive regarding 433 4321 whatever we’re calling it.

Is Steven Gerrard the man for the job?
Yes
No
One fan says that the English manager’s exploits in Europe are proof that the fans must keep the faith.
100% Follow Follow remember how you felt on Wednesday night he has enriched our stature in European terms his success in Europe is up there with Walter’s and I’m convinced he will get there domestically. Whether we like it or not the other mobs consistency has brought pressure

What do we think?
With Rangers being Gerrard’s first real experience as a senior manager, despite managing Liverpool’s academy teams before his move, the 39-year-old is relatively inexperienced. Should they stick it out with him, Rangers fans could see Gerrard grow into a position where he can seriously challenge Celtic for domestic success.
