Aston Villa would be 'great move' for Steven Gerrard, says Jamie Carragher
The Ibrox boss has been tipped to take over from Dean Smith
Jamie Carragher believes Aston Villa would be a 'great move' for Steven Gerrard - but also thinks the Rangers manager has his eyes set on more success in Scotland.
The Ibrox boss has been tipped as the favourite to take over from Dean Smith after he was sacked at the weekend.
The Midlands side sit just two points above the Premier League relegation zone after a stuttering start to the campaign.
Gerrard has now emerged as the front-runner, just a couple of weeks after being linked with a move to Newcastle United.
His old friend and teammate Carragher thinks it would be a great opportunity - but reckons Gerrard has unfinished business in Glasgow.
He told Sky Sports: "I think Aston Villa as a club would be a great move for Steven Gerrard.
"But the situation he finds himself in right now is that he took the title away from Celtic last season, and he's in a great position to win it again.
"I think in a perfect world you'd want to stay at Rangers to the end of the season and come away from there with two titles.
"I mean, this is not something coming from Steven Gerrard but, 'I look I've been in a job for four years in the Scottish Premiership', and I think sooner or later there's going to be a great chance Steven Gerrard is going to come to the Premier League.
"But for me, it's a difficult one. If he got offered the Aston Villa job, I don't think there'd be many jobs in the Premier League which he would get offered better than that.
"People talk about Liverpool, and that might be another two or three years with Jurgen Klopp but you're not going to get any jobs better, so it would be a decision for him.
"But, in a perfect world, I think Steven Gerrard wants to come away from Rangers with another couple of trophies."
