Summary

Jamie Murphy joins the lads to discuss the HUGE news that broke over the weekend that his and Andy Halliday's former Rangers Manager, Steven Gerrard has rejected the chance to return to the club!


We discuss the possible reasons why he decided not to go back, where this leaves the Rangers hierarchy Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Strewart and who would be an acceptable next option to take on the hot seat at Ibrox.


We also look back on Scotland's World Cup qualifier victories against Greece and Belarus - it wasn't pretty but Steve Clarke's side is one step closer to getting on the plane to USA, Canada & Mexico!
