We exclusively revealed Gerrard is closing in on a switch to the Premier League side, and the news has prompted odds to be drawn up on who Gerrard's successor will be at Ibrox.

The current Rangers boss is expected to take over at Villa after Dean Smith was sacked, with Gerrard 'filmed' in London today and Michael Beale also in the English capital.

Gennaro Gattuso and Russell Martin also feature as outsiders at 10/1 with McBookie alongside Kelty boss Kevin Thomson.

However, odds site TheSackRace have current Rangers assistant Gary McAllister down as the favourite at 3/1. Beale, who is thought to be in London, is also in the running at 6/1.
