Steven George Gerrard MBE (born 30 May 1980) is an English professional football manager and former player who manages Scottish Premiership club Rangers.
He spent the majority of his playing career as a central midfielder for Liverpool, with most of that time spent as club captain, as well as captaining the England national team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time,
Gerrard was awarded the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year award in 2005, and the Ballon d'Or Bronze Award. In 2009, Zinedine Zidane and Pelé said that they considered Gerrard to be the best footballer in the world.
Rangers will look to strike a deal with Nigeria that ensures Leon Balogun, Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey can play against Celtic on January 2.
The Ibrox trio will almost certainly be called up by their country for the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon at the turn of the year.
And FIFA rules state that players should be released from their clubs on December 27 for the tournament which kicks off on January 9.
That would potentially rule Balogun, Aribo and Bassey out of the crunch Old Firm fixture at Parkhead. But Mailsport understands Rangers are confident of successfully negotiating with the Nigerian FA and German boss Gernot Rohr for the players to report for duty AFTER the Celtic clash.
