Steven Gerrard is keeping a laser focus on Al-Ettifaq after talk of a Rangers return was ramped up with Dave King's pubic bid to return to Ibrox as chairman.
Former Light Blues supremo King has thrown his name into the ring to replace John Bennett in the top job at Ibrox - and that sparked speculation that King could make a move to bring former boss Gerrard back to Govan for another crack at the Scottish Premiership.
Philippe Clement is facing mounting pressure after an unconvincing start to the new campaign - and King namechecked Gerrard in his pitch over a sensational return to Ibrox.
But Record Sport understands the club directors are set to refuse the offer from the South Africa-based businessman with John Gilligan serving in the chairman role on a temporary basis.
