Klopp backs Gerrard as Rangers rumours swirl

The 37-year-old hung up his boots in 2016 after a 12-month stint with LA Galaxy and now manages the Liverpool under-18s.

“I am not worried,” Liverpool boss Klopp said on Friday. “Whatever he wants to do we will support him in that. There is no decision.

“I can imagine clubs are interested in signing Stevie. (He has) massive experience as a player so I would think about him signing for a club. We will support him in all directions.”

Under Graeme Murty, whose contract expires at the end of the season, Scottish Premiership giants Rangers are second in the table, 10 points behind champions-elect Celtic.
