Steven Gerrard returns to Rangers default setting amid rising Ettifaq pressure as he fires off familiar Ibrox excuse

Struggling Steven Gerrard has borrowed from his Rangers playbook with a familiar feel to his explanation for his struggles at Al-Ettifaq.

His venture into the Saudi Pro League appears to be quickly turning sour after his side suffered their second successive defeat – this time to Al-Riyadh – in front of a crowd of just 696 despite boasting a team packed with talent.

Scotland and former Celtic defender Jack Hendry featured in the slog alongside former Liverpool stars Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum as well as Demarai Gray.

And following the full-time whistle in the Middle East, the Liverpool legend leaned on some excuses that will have seemed like a throwback for the Rangers fans - as he put the blame on his players for some costly mistakes during the 1-0 loss.
