Club reportedly feel Spurs will come for boss, Sir Ferguson dubbed him ‘magnificent’ – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur are still in search of a new manager two months after parting ways with Jose Mourinho.
Spurs have been linked with several names already but are struggling to get a deal over the line.
Deals for former Serie A bosses Paulo Fonseca and Gennaro Gattuso fell through last week, and according to Give Me Sports, some figures at Rangers fear the North Londoners will make a move for their manager Steven Gerrard.
The former Liverpool star was initially linked with the job, but those reports went quiet in the weeks that followed.
Rangers had been keen to hand him a new deal, but that has reportedly proven difficult following an offer from an unnamed Premier League club.

Gerrard has three more years left on his deal at Ibrox and has insisted he is not looking to leave anytime soon.
Nevertheless, the temptation to manage in the English top-flight cannot be denied.
Spurs are yet to make any firm move for the 41-year-old, but that cannot be ruled out.
The Rangers boss led his side to their first Premiership title in 10 years last season, earning the praises of former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Red Devils legend dubbed Gerrard magnificent for the impressive achievement, and it will not be surprising if the top clubs in Europe start coming for him.
The Light Blues played some outstanding football last season, ending the Premiership campaign without a defeat and performing incredibly well in the Europa League.
That could have caught the eyes of Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, but whether he will be keen to move for the Liverpool legend is up for debate.
Gerrard has spent just three years as a manager and has not garnered enough experience.
While he would fancy his chances in a Premier League dugout, the English top-flight is a different kettle of fish compared to the Premiership, and taking a job as big as Tottenham’s could be very tricky.
