Good luck to Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa. He was great for Scottish football and raised its profile. He will be a big loss to Rangers. Stopping Celtic winning 10 was a big deal but Callum Davidson did win more trophies than him over the time… who will Rangers turn to??

Delighted to see Steven Gerrard appointed as Head Coach @AVFCOfficial He did a great job turning Rangers around and I wish him the best of luck at VillaI just hope everyone gives him time to make his mark and add to the club's great history.🤞🤞

Sam Burgess defended his England career.
I’m sure when I left the field in this game we were leading by 10 points with 15 mins to go.. @Jamiehuwroberts collided with me a few times. I think they enjoyed the game a little better when I left the field 🤷🏽♂️ https://t.co/0C19CphTHW
