Steven Gerrard in expletive Rangers video vow as emotional ex boss turns air blue and clamps Celtic
The Ibrox hero is out of work after getting the sack at Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq in January
Ex Rangers boss Steven Gerrard sent fans wild after a video clip was shared of him declaring his "f**** love" for the club.
Talk of a managerial return for Gerrard at Ibrox has never gone away - and the Liverpool legend has added some fresh weight to that rumour with the two pieces of footage shared on social media from a night out.
Gerrard is out of work after leaving Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq earlier this year and has stated that he will be in no rush to return to management.
But with 49ers Enterprises takeover of Gers at Ibrox almost complete, the incoming owners may look to bring in a high-profile managerial appointment, and some supporters are already calling for Gerrard to come back.
The England hero led the Light Blues to the Premiership title in 2021, going the whole season unbeaten and stopping rivals Celtic's quest for 10 in a row right at the death.
Gerrard jumped ship to Aston Villa six months later and while things haven't worked out too well for him on the touchline since his Ibrox exit, the former midfield general remains a favourite with the bookies to have a second stint as Rangers manager.
And in two clips that has been widely circulated on X, the 44-year-old has once again shown his affection for the club.
In the first clip, Gerrard is asked by a Celtic fan to record a short message for another supporter and offers an x-rated response, saying: "Listen Debbie, this f****** mushroom is a Celtic fan.
"We f****** love Rangers. F*** Debbie I love Rangers."
And in another club, Gerrard goes one step further, shouting: "up the Teddy Bears" after being filmed by another supporter who attempts to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone", a song that is synonymous with both Celtic and Liverpool.

‘Soccer Aid has absolutely rattled me' – Man Utd fans furious at what Carlos Tevez did after scoring at Old Trafford
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CARLOZ TEVEZ lit up Soccer Aid - and re-lit the fuse with Manchester United fans. The strike legend has a controversial reputation at Old Trafford from his playing days. 3 Carlos Tevez shared centre spot with another ex-Man Utd star in Nemanja Vidic after the World XI beat England 5-4 at Old Trafford Credit: PA 3 Three-time Prem winner Tevez was the World XI's main man, much to the annoyance of many Red Devils' supporters Credit: Shutterstock Editorial And he somehow managed to rile Red Devils' supporters during the sell-out charity match even more than he did two decades ago The Argentine, 41, came off the bench to hit FOUR goals as the World XI roared back from 3-0 down to snatch a late 5-4 win. Some United fans were already angry - as they reckoned he should not have been allowed to return on the field at Old Trafford. And they were even more annoyed when Tevez's dazzling display was accompanied by a surprising choice of tune over the tannoy system. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL SHOCKER AID Alex Scott & Dermot O'Leary sorry as Tyson Fury swears in ITV's match coverage "You'll Never Walk Alone" - the signature tune of big rivals Liverpool - boomed around the ground. Tevez was, notoriously, a United player from 2007-09. But to many fans he soured his stay beyond redemption with a go-or-stay saga - ending when his advisors revealed he no longer wanted to play for Alex Ferguson's team. Instead he joined fast-rising neighbours Manchester City - for a successful four-year stint. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 3 Tevez, left, celebrated as Big Zuu went wild after his winner Credit: Reuters And although he's long gone from Old Trafford he's not forgotten by fuming fans of United. However, he walked the walk - and almost did it alone - as he led the World XI's recovery, before Big Zuu 'rapped' up victory with a 20-yard drill. Westlife star Nicky Byrne makes incredible Soccer Aid double save.. Admittedly, -drilled' might be a slight exaggeration - as BZ's 20-yard near-post shot should never have beaten England keeper Paddy McGuinness. But the TV presenter made a mess of it - after inexplicably trying to save it with his legs and ending up in a tangle. And if McGuinness was honest he should at that stage have pleaded "Take Me Out" - of goal. However, although it was too late for England, it wasn't too late for United supporters to vent their ire over Tevez - and Liverpool's tune. One wrote: "Soccer Aid has absolutely rattled me here. Who let Carlos Tevez in the building and who the f*** agreed to play that over the tannoy." Plenty of fans made the point after the frontman was only halfway through his quadruple haul. One posted: "Playing you'll never walk alone at old Trafford and Carlos Tevez brace… Jesus" - followed by a laughing emoji. Another simply stated: "Watched Soccer Aid for 6 minutes and seen Carlos Tevez score a double and you'll never walk alone being played at Old Trafford." Another joked: "Tevez getting hat-trick and YNWA being played in the stadium, don't think soccer aid will be getting played at Old Trafford anymore." Others even asked why he was allowed to play there at all. And one extended that suggestion by writing on X: "Shouldn't be allowed to play you'll never walk alone at Old Trafford even for Soccer Aid."

Maxwell details Scottish FA decision over Rangers takeover
The Ibrox club had to submit paperwork to Hampden bosses before the takeover could be given the green light due to dual interest legislation. Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises had to go through the legal process due to the investment wing holding shares in English Premier League club Leeds. The Scottish FA has granted permission for the takeover deal to go ahead without any issue, subject to written undertakings signed by club officials and the investing party. The agreement means the investing party's interest in any other club does not preclude Rangers from participating in any UEFA competition they qualify for, among other commitments. Chief executive Maxwell said: 'No, they've not been particularly complicated. To be honest, we've definitely been more open. Multi-club ownership is here. It's part of football. 'When you look across Europe, the number of clubs that are involved in some multi-club structure is growing by the day. We need to be part of that, why would you limit that investment? 'When you think about it was actually interesting when you start to think through the process and we had dual interest regulations, which meant that, when you're involved in a club, you can't get involved in a Scottish club unless we say yes. 'But someone like Tony Bloom, for example, is getting involved in Hearts and he has a track record at Brighton, understands football and already has Union SG and those other clubs. 'We actually make it harder for him to come into Scottish football than we do for someone who's just sold a company for £10 million that's got no understanding of the Scottish game. So when you actually get into it, you go that probably doesn't make a lot of sense. 'So our board are looking at it from two perspectives. Does it grow and develop the game? Will it generate financial investment into Scottish football? Does it give us an integrity issue? 'The integrity issue falls away because that would only happen if it was two Scottish teams playing under our jurisdiction, which it's not. 'The jurisdictional matter becomes a UEFA point and we've been clear in all the dual interests. 'All the multi-club investment models that we've done, we've been very clear that if there was, similar to a Crystal Palace scenario at the moment where there's a question mark about which one's going to play in Europe, it can't be the Scottish club that's the unintended consequence or has to step aside from European competition. Read more: Rangers follow Hibernian, with Black Knights investment, and Hearts, with Tony Bloom's prospective backing, as the latest club featuring in a multi-club ownership model. For Maxwell, it's an overwhelming positive that new investors have experience across a number of clubs. He added: 'The good thing is, because the vast majority of clubs that have came into Scotland have got other multi-club ownership models, they're used to that and when you speak to the guys involved in the Hearts deal they're very aware of what UEFA need and what UEFA want and how that structure needs to look to make sure we don't get ourselves those problems. 'So I think it's here, we can't ignore it and why would you want to step away from it? Why would you want to block investment coming into the game if it's going to be good for our clubs? 'The trick is that the club need to then go and spend that money as wisely as possible. 'We don't get involved in that bit, but from a board perspective there's definitely a willingness to look at anything that generates more investment into Scotland.'

Rangers, Hearts and Hibs watch Crystal Palace situation with interest as SFA has say on Euro exclusion
Uefa set to rule on multi-club ownership Sign up to our Football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

The situation with Crystal Palace potentially being denied from competing in Europe next season will not have gone unnoticed by supporters of Rangers, Hearts and Hibs. Oliver Glasner's team clinched a Europa League spot after they stunned Manchester City to win the FA Cup at Wembley last month – the first major trophy in the club's history. However, there is a complication. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi (centre left) and Joel Ward (centre right) lift the FA Cup after the Emirates FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, London. Picture date: Saturday May 17, 2025. | PA Palace are facing an anxious wait to discover their fate after being required to meet with Uefa's club financial control body (CFCB) to show they do not fall foul of its multi-club ownership rules. John Textor holds a 43 per cent stake in Palace through his company Eagle Football, while he is also the owner of French club Lyon, who qualified for the Europa League with a sixth-placed Ligue 1 finish. No individual is allowed to have a significant say in the running of two clubs competing in the same Uefa competition and the CFCB will make a ruling on the case this month. Irish club Drogheda United have already been expelled from the Conference League due to multi-club ownership rules. They are currently owned by the Trivela Group - an organisation which also has a majority share in Danish side Silkeborg IF, who have also qualified for the Conference League, meaning Drogheda are unable to compete due to Uefa regulations, although club officials plan to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad While Palace are confident they can settle their case - either by proving that Textor's influence at Selhurst Park is limited or by the American agreeing to sell his stake - the outcome could have implications for the Scottish clubs who have opened their doors to investors from other clubs. Rangers were recently taken over by an American consortium involving 49ers Enterprises - who own Leeds United - while Brighton owner Tony Bloom, who is also a minority shareholder in Union Saint-Gilloise, is set to acquire a 29 per cent stake in Hearts, with non-voting rights, in return for a near £10million investment. Hibs have also linked up with Bill Foley's Black Knights Group - who run Bournemouth and have involvement with French club Lorient and Auckland FC in New Zealand. All three deals required SFA approval and the chief executive of the governing body, Ian Maxwell, has welcomed the influx of multi-club investors into the Scottish game.

When you actually get into it, that probably doesn't make a lot of sense." Maxwell also attempted to allay fears that Scottish clubs could find themselves in the same boat as Palace if say, for example, both Rangers and Leeds qualified to compete in the same European competition with the chairman of the newly-promoted English Premier League side, Paraag Marathe, also now the vice-chairman at Ibrox. "Our board, we're looking at it from two perspectives," Maxwell added. "Does it grow and develop the game? Will it generate financial investment into Scottish football?

"There's both of the Red Bull teams so they've found a way to make it work, whether it's just a timing issue or whether it's not. The good thing is, because the vast majority of clubs that have came into Scotland have got other multi-club ownership models, they're used to that.
