Ian Rush: Steven Gerrard "on right track" to succeeding Jurgen Klopp

Steven Gerrard has done an "incredible job" at Rangers and is on the right path to one day take over as Liverpool manager, according to Ian Rush.

Liverpool great Ian Rush believes that Rangers boss Steven Gerrard "is on the right track" to succeeding Jurgen Klopp as the Reds' next manager.

Gerrard has guided Rangers to within four wins of the Scottish Premiership title and into the knockout stages of the Europa League in only his third season in management.

The ex-England international spent a quarter of a century at Anfield during his playing days, including 17 years in the first team, and has been tipped to one day manage the club.

Klopp still has three years to run on his contract, and Rush feels that Gerrard could be well placed to take over at that point.

"I know Stevie really well and when he was at Liverpool's academy he did really well there," he told HorseRacing.net. "It was a gamble for him to go to Rangers.

"It looks almost certain that they're going to win the league this season and the fact that he's going to stop Celtic winning ten titles in a row means that the Rangers fans really love Stevie. He's done an incredible job there, but he's still learning and the time and the place will come for everything.

"If you're a Liverpool supporter, you will be dreaming that one day Steven Gerrard will return to manage the club and that will only come if he's been successful at the clubs he's been at. At the moment Stevie has done nothing wrong so far in management.

"Does he need a bit of time before he takes another job? Yes he probably does need a bit of time, but he's on the right track. As a Liverpool supporter I would love to see Steven Gerrard do well for Rangers and when the time is right for him to come and manage Liverpool then that's all dependent on the experience Stevie needs as a manager."

Gerrard won nine trophies during his time at Liverpool, including the Champions League in 2004-05.
