Steven Gerrard tipped to quit Rangers for Arsenal if Unai Emery gets sacked
Steven Gerrard would quit Rangers for Arsenal if Unai Emery is sacked by the Gunners.
That is according to former Manchester United striker Alan Brazil, who believes the Liverpool legend would copy Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers in quitting the Scottish Premiership for the Premier League.

Rangers have suffered just three defeats in 26 continental matches under Gerrard’s management.
Gerrard said: "We beat a good team tonight and we've beaten them comfortably.

"They have good players and over two games we have dominated three halves.
"I thought Porto paid us a big compliment with their set-up, the formation and the personnel they picked.
"It caused us problems and for the first 20-30 minutes their quick movement and system rattled us a bit. But once we came to terms with it we grew into the game."
