Former Celtic midfielder Kris Commons has questioned Liverpool U18 coach Steven Gerrard's imminent move to Rangers.

Commons says Rangers chairman Dave King will expect instant success from Gerrard but has cautioned there is no quick fix at Ibrox.

The former Celtic man told the Daily Star: "If I was Steven Gerrard looking at that squad, and baring in mind they have got five loan players to leave as well as players out of contract and guys who are currently on loan abroad to come back, I'd be thinking this is a £50m, £60m, £70m project.

"I'm talking transfer fees, wages, agents' fees and a long-term process.

"But when you've got a chairman in Dave King asking for a rapid response and that he is going to provide all the funds needed to sustain and make possible that immediate success, it heaps a massive amount of pressure on Steven Gerrard.

"This is a guy who has been working with 16 and 17 year-old kids for eight months.

"I wouldn't like to be in that position.

"I've worked with Brendan Rodgers. If I'd been working in youth team-level football and then someone said to me, 'Listen, I'll give you £60m, go spend it, bring in whoever you want and then go up against the potential double-Treble winners and we expect you to win a trophy', I don't think I'd sleep much that night."
