Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has told The Scottish Sun that he is happy at Ibrox amid reported interest from Derby County.

According to The Daily Record, Derby in the Championship in England are interested in appointing Rangers boss Gerrard as their new manager.

Derby manager Frank Lampard is expected to leave for the managerial role at Chelsea, and the Rams have identified Gerrard as his replacement at the Pride Park Stadium, according to the report.

The report has also claimed that the former Premier League club will offer Gerrard £8 million as bonus if he leads the Rams to promotion from the Championship.

Rangers manager Gerrard, though, has said that he is happy at Ibrox, but the Liverpool legend is aware of reported interest in him from Derby.

Gerrard told The Scottish Sun regarding speculation about Derby: “Yes, I’m aware of it. But there’s nothing to say on it.

I’m very happy to be the Rangers manager. My focus is on the up and coming season.”
