Rangers second favourites to sign ex-England star following Gerrard appointment

Steven Gerrard taking over the Gers has seen a host of names linked with the Scottish giants.

Steven Gerrard’s Rangers revolution has resulted in a plethora of big names being linked to the Ibrox club.

However, among the likes of Jon Flanagan, Dominic Solanke and Scott Arfield, is one of the most well-known names in world football.

Rangers are second favourites to sign Manchester United’s highest ever goal scorer, Wayne Rooney, in this summer’s transfer window.

Gerrard’s new-look team are only behind ‘Any MLS club’ (7/4) in the betting, with Rangers as short as 10/1 to get their hands on the English striker (best price 20/1).

Elsewhere, Wolves are third favourites at 18/1 to sign England’s top ever goal scorer, Crystal Palace and Newcastle are both 25/1 with Leicester rounding off the runners at 28/1.

Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “They may have always been bitter rivals for the clubs, but Rooney and Gerrard were international teammates for a long time and the betting suggests the new Rangers boss could be interested in taking England's record goal scorer to Scotland.”
