Rangers fans might still be licking their wounds from their latest Scottish Premiership cock-up, but that hasn’t stopped the majority of Gers fans backing manager Steven Gerrard.
The Ibrox boss is under increasing pressure for dropping points in four of his seven Scottish Premiership games since the turn of 2020.
The Rangers side have lost their mojo on domestic soil with 12 points between the Ibrox side and leaders Celtic, albeit with a game in hand.

With many Gers fans only getting over the pain of dropped points against Hearts, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock, St. Johnstone has come far too soon.
Only three days after Gerrard’s Rangers side staged the comeback to beat all comebacks against Braga at Ibrox, the club’s supporters crashed right back down to Earth in Perth.
The reason why Rangers have failed to turn up post-2020 has escaped supporters and it looks to have handed the title advantage over to Celtic.
But despite the impending threat of our rivals winning their 9th title in a row many Rangers fans have been throwing their support behind Steven Gerrard.
Whilst he is not immune from criticism, the club’s supporters have been backing the Rangers manager on Twitter:

Gerrard saw that in Katic about a year before we did. He knew Tav was captain 18 months before we did. Kamberi doesn't look like a Hibs cast-off. Glen Kamara only recently stopped playing at a level 100 x his transfer fee. Whatever's wrong, I'm inclined to believe Stevie G isn't.

!!Again. Just my opinion before everyone fills my mentions with moaning!!
But sacking Gerrard would be the worst thing we could do. Won’t fix anything and would put us back another 2 years for another manager to come in and start again
Sacking half the players would be better

There's no way we should be talking about Gerrard and the sack he's the best we've had from Walter, give him time.

If you think Gerrard deserves the sack you need to get a grip, regardless of results recently the team are still 100x better than it was when he took over

I 100% agree Gerrard has got it wrong the past couple games and it’s cost us but folk are very quick to forget what’s he’s done for us in the 2 years he’s been at Rangers he’s got us challenging for the title and playing in Europe and doing very well in Europe we are just on fall

Steven Gerrard is 100% still the right man for the Rangers job…
He has brought back respect to our club, simple things like not letting press conferences become a playground for Journos to rip the piss out of us etc
these "Experts" in the press are so excited about this

Another big topic going around at the moment is replacing Gerrard. Imo there’s no need to replace Gerrard, he’s brought us back to a competing side in the Europa League, and up until the winter break we was the best side in Scotland.

Steven Gerrard took over at Ibrox in May 2018, leading the club to successive Europa League Group Stage qualification and building a squad capable of beating rivals Celtic.
