Former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie has suggested on Open Goal that Rangers manager Steven Gerrard would be the best player in the current Ibrox squad.

Gerrard was appointed the Rangers manager in the summer of 2018, and the former Liverpool midfielder has been superb in the role at Ibrox.

Many observers will suggest that Alfredo Morelos is the best player at Rangers at the moment, with the Colombia international striker having 15 goals in 22 Scottish Premiership starts for the Gers so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Former Celtic striker McAvennie believes that Gerrard would be the best player in the current Rangers team.

McAvennie said on Open Goal about Gerrard: “As a player, I would say he is still the best player in that team, and that’s saying something.”

Title challenge

Rangers are eight points behind leaders and bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment.

The Hoops are doing well in the Scottish Premiership at the moment, and the Glasgow giants are favourites for the title this campaign.

The Gers need to add consistency to their game and need to put together a run of positive results to heap the pressure on Celtic.
