Liverpool and Rangers legend Graeme Souness has offered advice to Steven Gerrard over the Ibrox job.

Souness keeps his words of guidance to a minimum.

"If you're going to die, you have to die by making your own decisions," says Souness, the former Rangers and Liverpool boss cutting straight to the heart of management at any level.

"So, my biggest piece of advice to him? Be your own man. That's it. Be your own man. And hopefully you're a lucky man.

"You have to believe in what you do because, ultimately, it's your neck that's on the line.

"We've not spoken yet but a friend of his has been in touch with me. And I will be speaking to him before the season starts.

"He doesn't need my advice. He is his own man."
