Steven Gerrard has confirmed he has held "positive talks" with Rangers about taking over as manager at Ibrox.

The former Liverpool and England captain, 37, is still in negotiations about succeeding Graeme Murty, who was sacked as interim boss on Tuesday.

"I have held initial talks and I have plans to pick them up in a couple of days' time," he told BT Sport.

"I'm busy for a couple of days now and I'll pick it up on Thursday and we'll see if we can progress it."

Gerrard has been an Under-18s coach with Liverpool's academy since retiring from playing in 2016 after a spell with LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer in the USA.
