Danny Murphy says former Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard has proved he could handle a return to Anfield after leading Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title.
Murphy believes the weekend's triumph has not only confirmed Gerrard as the right man to lead Rangers. For the club he represented for 17 years, his credentials as the man to eventually succeed Jurgen Klopp are no longer up for debate.
"He'll always strive for more whatever role he's in," said Murphy to the Daily Mail. "But it's also fair to say that the day Liverpool come calling, and that day will come inevitably, he will be there.
"There's no doubt about that in my mind. In the interim period, he's going to be saying the right things because, while he's employed by Rangers, they've given him a wonderful platform.
"He's repaying it - he's now done what he was asked to do. And he'll carry on doing the best he can because that's the way he is until something changes.
"But when it does change, the one club on the planet you know he'll want to go to is Liverpool when the time is right."
