Steven Gerrard ‘sad’ at Ovie Ejaria’s decision to end Rangers loan and insists Liverpool links will not be affected
Steven Gerrard does not believeOvie Ejaria’s disappointing time at Rangers will affect the club’s relationship with Liverpool.The youngster had been due to spend the entire 2018/19 season on loan at Ibrox but has returned early to Anfield after telling Gerrard he was unsettled in Scotland.2

Ovie Ejaria decided to end his Rangers loan spell early

Gerrard had been keen to keep the 21-year-old for the whole campaign and is disappointed the playmaker decided to head back to Merseyside.“I’d like to thank Liverpool for the opportunity to have him here for half the season,” said Gerrard.“Am I disappointed he’s gone? Yes. Do I think it’s the right decision? No, because I think he had an incredible opportunity here.“But I’m never going to stand in a player’s way who is not happy and who is not settled because I have people who are desperate to wear the shirt and who would run through brick walls to wear it.“It is what it is. I have to accept the decision. I’m sad about it, I wish him all the best. He’s a nice kid, very quiet. He told me it was 100 per cent football reasons and I have respect that.”One of Liverpool’s greatest every players, Gerrard was the Reds’ under-18s coach before taking over at Rangers in the summer and he used his Liverpool links to good effect as he started his rebuilding project at Ibrox.2

Steven Gerrard has made a promising start to his managerial career

As well as Ejaria, Rangers have also taken wideman Ryan Kent on a 12-month loan deal.Liverpool have already said in a statement they believe Ejaria’s stint in Glasgow – where he made 28 appearances – would be “extremely beneficial for his career”.And Gerrard is confident his early return will not put off his old side from sending their best young talent north in future.“I don’t think there will be a problem, no,” he said. “That’s because we’ve just sent one player back who’s played 25 times, 11 times in Europe, who wore the number 10 for Glasgow Rangers in front of 51,000 people.“We’ve got another Liverpool player here (Kent) who has played around played probably around 20 times, who has reignited his career after two bad loans. “He’s doing unbelievably well and I want him fit as soon as possible. He’s having the time of his life.“Kids are different, characters are different. I have to accept that.”Rangers moved to the top of the Scottish Premiership on Sunday with victory over Hamilton.Daniel Candeias early strike was enough to secure a 1-0 win for Gerrard’s men at Ibrox.
