Rangers news: Neil Lennon makes big Steven Gerrard claim - we could be ‘in trouble’
STEVEN GERRARD’s arrival at Rangers could spell trouble for the rest of the Scottish Premiership, claims Hibernian boss and Celtic legend Neil Lennon.

Gerrard was appointed as the new Rangers manager earlier this month on a four-year deal.
The Gers job is the Liverpool hero’s first in management since retiring from playing in 2016.
He has a rebuilding job on his hands to close the gap on Old Firm rivals Celtic at the top.
But Lennon is worried that if Gerrard is as good a manager as he was a player, then it would not give many of the other teams a chance.
If he’s anything like his playing career, the rest of us are in trouble
“I think it adds a little bit more glamour to it I suppose,” Lennon told Sky Sports.
“You know, we don’t know what Steven can do as a manager.
“But certainly, if he’s anything like his playing career, the rest of us are in trouble.
“But it just adds to the calibre of manager we already have here.

“I thought it was really competitive last season, some brilliant managerial performances. Steven will add to that no question.”
Gerrard has already made his first signings as Rangers boss.
Goalkeeper Allan McGregor has rejoined after leaving Hull at the end of the season.
He has also brought in Scott Arfield from Burnley and made the loan of Jamie Murphy permanent.
