'I would...' - Scott Arfield shares Gerrard return verdict in Clement exit admission at Rangers

Scott Arfield has admitted he “would love to see” Steven Gerrard return to Rangers if Philippe Clement were sacked at Ibrox.

The Belgian has come under increased pressure from pundits and fans alike, despite leading the Gers to the Scottish League Cup final, after the Light Blues slipped nine points adrift of Celtic and Aberdeen in the Premiership.

While former Gers star and Premier Sports pundit Arfield insists he doesn’t want to see the Belgian sacked, he thinks it would be “extremely difficult” for Gerrard to reject a return to Ibrox.

Speaking on The Scottish Football Social Club (4 November) he said: “I would love to see it.

“I wouldn’t like to see Philippe Clement lose his job because he obviously really cares about it. Every interview, every time he speaks, he speaks so passionately.

“But knowing Steven Gerrard, I would love to see him come back. Some people say never go back to what was amazing but I think with an icon and a man of that profile, once they get back in the hot seat at Rangers, then I think it’s going to be extremely difficult to say no to that.”

Will Rangers sack Philippe Clement amid Ibrox exit speculation?

Rangers fans are just desperate to see their side competing for silverware and titles again.

While Clement managed to get his hands on the League Cup title during his first campaign at Ibrox, he failed to secure the Premiership crown despite being in the driving seat midway through the season and crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of Benfica.

Under Gerrard, the Gers felt like a genuine force to be reckoned with. Yes, he only won one league title, but he made the Light Blues a competitive team in Scotland and was the last manager to genuinely take the battle to Celtic.

While some will argue that going back to a manager who jumped ship for the Premier League would be a mistake, it could be suggested that the former Aston Villa manager cannot make them much worse than they are under Clement.

For now, it seems as though the Belgian will remain in charge for the foreseeable future anyway. How long he is given to turn things around however is anyone’s guess.
