This week, Steven Gerrard was appointed as the new Aston Villa manager to replace the departed and much loved Dean Smith. Gerrard joined from current Scottish Champions Rangers, where he spent three years and guided the club to their first title in a decade. Whilst winning the league, Rangers conceded just 13 goals all season and went unbeaten. The Glasgow side were also impressive in Europe, picking up wins over Porto, Feyenoord and Galatasaray.

On the day Gerrard joined Villa, Frankie spoke to Alex Anderson, a football writer and contributor to the popular Rangers podcast Gersnet. Alex believes Villa have 'won the lottery' in appointing Gerrard and his coaching staff. He explained what tactics and approach Villa fans might expect to see from Gerrard's team over the coming seasons. Alex also revealed which Rangers players he thinks could be a target for Villa if Gerrard decides to return to Ibrox for some signings.
