I know you’re a big fan of Rangers :grinning::grinning:But they’ve done Remarkably well this season, no matter the league, its not always easy going the whole season without a single defeat, takes so much hardwork and commitment… The fact that they did it while still competing in Europe makes it more astonishing… Many Kudos to Steven Gerrard… He has done well for himself :heart_eyes:

Yup! No doubts there…:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Haven’t really got a chance to follow the Rangers closely apart from their participation in European competition. But it is indeed a remarkable feat achieved by Rangers under Gerrard’s leadership.

I would like to see Steven Gerrard coach in the Premier League and especially Liverpool! It will be great to see a legend player evolve into a legend coach! Look forward to history being written in this decade and we get to witness Gerrard being counted amongst the coaching legends. :crossed_fingers: :heart: YNWA
