I think he did it to test himself more than up here. It would have been easy to stay up here at Ibrox and just contest each year v Celtic. He probably knew that when the Anfield job comes available that the bosses there would be very unlikely to look to Scotland, so when the Villa job came up I think he had to take it to push himself and possibly put himself in the frame..........wonder if he regrets it now seeing the success Rangers have had in Europe whereas the Villa job is ramping up the pressure on him.

On the Villa forum there is a large growing anti Gerrard feeling and after Saturdays result I think he doesn't have many games to turn it around. No disrespect to Bournemouth but Villa are going to come up against some much bigger and better opposition in the next few weeks. Ironically one of the biggest dislikes is making McGinn captain and also playing him for 90 minutes each game whereas many fans would only start him on the bench!
