GLASGOW, Scotland — Liverpool great Steven Gerrard was appointed coach of Scottish club Rangers on Friday, tasked with closing the gap on Glasgow rival Celtic. Gerrard said he was honoured to manage Rangers, which has won 54 Scottish league titles but none since 2011. Gerrard joins the club at a difficult time in the Glasgow rivalry, five days after Celtic beat Rangers 5-0 to win its seventh straight league title. Gerrard never won a Premier League title with Liverpool, but he captained the team to win the Champions League in 2005. He was also part of teams that won UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and League Cup titles.
