Steven Gerrard will not return as Rangers head coach after stepping away from talks to succeed Russell Martin, Sky Sports News understands.
Rangers held open and constructive discussions with Gerrard on Thursday and Friday.
However, Gerrard felt the timing wasn't quite right for a return at this stage and confirmed that he did not want to continue in the recruitment process.
Talks between Gerrard and Rangers were understood to be positive throughout and both sides agreed to leave the door open for the future.
The former England captain, who previously managed Rangers and delivered their most recent Scottish Premiership title in 2021, expressed his gratitude for the continued support of the Rangers fans and wished the club every success for the season ahead.
