There's a zero per cent chance of Steven going to Liverpool - Dave King
Gerrard celebrate trophy

Former Rangers chief, Dave King has dismissed rumours that Steven Gerrard could replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool if the manager could not put an end to the crises the reigning Premier League Champions are going through.

Although he was optimistic that the former Liverpool player will someday manage the Reds but would see through his contract with the Scottish side which ends in 2024.

Steven Gerrard on Sunday led the Gers to the Scottish Premiership trophy after a decade whiles his beloved Liverpool keeps sinking following a sixth defeat in the League to Fulham at Anfield.

“I think there's a zero per cent chance of Steven going to Liverpool in the near future,” said King, who appointed Gerrard as the manager for the side before stepping down a year ago.

“I say that for two reasons. Liverpool — as a club — don't abandon their managers very easily. Klopp has done a fantastic job, they've had a difficult season, but he is still a great manager and I think he'll still be there next season, continuing to be successful.

“Secondly, Steven is not the type of man to break a contract. Steven extended his contract with Rangers full in the knowledge that it would require winning a title and then defending that title.

“Getting into the Champions League was another obvious target. I don't think Steven will be satisfied with just winning the league. I know he wants to defend that league title and I know he wants to get into the Champions League.

“From Steven's point of view, spending the next few years at Rangers is going to be good for him, his career and, of course, it will be good for Rangers.

“A move to Liverpool is somewhere down the road and why would Steven want to go to another club? He loves the club, the fans love him and he has the full support and backing of the board.

“He has a big task ahead of him, defending the league title will be important. It's important the fans enjoy this moment because it's been a long time coming.”

Thousands of fans breached the coronavirus restrictions to celebrate outside Ibrox Stadium and George square on Sunday night.
