The Ibrox boss is reported to be the Rams’ first-choice pick to replace Frank Lampard, amid heightening claims that a move to become Chelsea manager will be announced this week. But when asked if the job at Pride Park would interest him, Gers manager Gerrard gave a forthright response. “Yes I’m aware of it but there’s nothing to say on it,” he told Sky Sports News. “I’m very happy.
