Jamie Carragher believes Steven Gerrard will see out the rest of the season as manager of Rangers, amid reported interest from Aston Villa.

The 41-year-old, who had previously been linked with the Newcastle United vacancy, has recently been tipped to replace Dean Smith at Villa Park, following his dismissal on Sunday.

Carragher believes a switch to Aston Villa would be a "great move" for Gerrard; however, he does not think that his former Liverpool teammate will leave Ibrox midway through the season as the Gers aim to win their second successive Scottish Premiership title.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Carragher said: "I think Aston Villa as a club would be a great move for Steven Gerrard. But the situation he finds himself in right now is that he took the title away from Celtic last season, and he's in a great position to win it again. I think in a perfect world you'd want to stay at Rangers to the end of the season and come away from there with two titles.

"I mean, this is not something coming from Steven Gerrard but, 'I look I've been in a job for four years in the Scottish Premiership', and I think sooner or later there's going to be a great chance Steven Gerrard is going to come to the Premier League. But for me, it's a difficult one.

"If he got offered the Aston Villa job, I don't think there'd be many jobs in the Premier League which he would get offered better than that. People talk about Liverpool, and that might be another two or three years with Jurgen Klopp but you're not going to get any jobs better, so it would be a decision for him."

Since taking the reins at Rangers in the summer of 2018, Gerrard has enjoyed his spell in Glasgow, winning 124 of his 192 games in charge, including Sunday's 4-2 victory at home against Ross County.
