Steven Gerrard has been announced as Rangers FC new manager. This is very interesting. Its also bad news for bitter rival Celtic FC and their quest to "10 in a row".
Celtic have dominated Scottish football over the past decade or so. They have 7 league titles in a row.
Both Rangers and Celtic hold the record of 9 in a row.

The interesting part here is that Gerrard used to play for Liverpool. The Celtic Manager, Brendan Rodgers used to manage Liverpool. Steven Gerrard was captain while Rodgers was Liverpool manager.
Liverpool almost won the Premier league in 2013.
As Liverpool were seemingly marching towards their first ever Premier League title, a major slip by Gerrard in the match against Chelsea cost Liverpool dearly. They lost the match and Manchester City won the title instead.

Will Steven Gerrard stop Brendan Rodgers from winning 10 in a row in Scotland?
Hes the perfect guy to do it, seeing as his slip stopped Rodgers winning at Liverpool.
