CELTIC manager Brendan Rodgers admits he was not expecting Steven Gerrard to be linked with Rangers.
Gerrard was skipper under Rodgers when the Northern Irishman was in charge at Anfield.
“I’ve seen the speculation over the last couple of days and I was a little bit surprised,” Rodgers said.
“But the most important thing when you are starting out is when you feel the time is right and when you feel ready, especially when it is about your first job.
“It is not necessarily about a club, it is about the right club. And if the speculation is right and Stevie has spoken to them then maybe there is something in that, that he feels that it is the right club.
“I know he has always wanted to be a manager, I know that from my time working closely with him at Liverpool, it was something that he wanted to do.”
