Danny Murphy has made a revelation about his ex-Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard while speaking on talkSPORT.

The former Fulham midfielder was discussing the Rangers boss’ comments following the Gers’ defeat to Hearts in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals.

Gerrard said that he was unsure if his players had the same desire as he had to beat Hearts, and also plunged his own future in doubt by stating that he needs to “think” about where his side are at as a group.

Speaking on talkSPORT about his ex-teammate’s hard-hitting words, Murphy shed some light on Gerrard and the former England international’s character – his comments are definitely worth listening to given their history together in the game.

What did he say?

Murphy told talkSPORT: “I’d be absolutely amazed if he walked, gobsmacked. It’s not in him, it’s not the person I know. I don’t think there’s any chance of that at all, not even 1% really. I’ve read between the lines.”

Knows better than most

If anyone knows what Gerrard is like as a character, it’ll be Murphy – more than any of us sitting and analysing his comments, at least.

The talkSPORT pundit played for Liverpool from 1997 to 2004, whereas Gerrard was at Anfield from 1998 until 2015.

The pair spent six years alongside each other at Liverpool, so if Murphy thinks that the Rangers boss isn’t the type to walk out on the Scottish giants, then his words are definitely worth listening to.

Unless Rangers win the Europa League, Gerrard will become the first Rangers manager in 68 years to have gone two seasons without silverware at Ibrox – that stat is presumably enough to make anyone feel pressured into leaving.

However, Murphy doesn’t seem to think there’s even a slither of a chance of his ex-teammate departing Rangers.
