STEVEN GERRARD has distanced himself from a potential move for Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour next month.
Reports this week suggested that Gerrard could look to strike a loan deal that would bring Gilmour back to Ibrox for the remainder of the campaign.
The 19-year-old made his first Champions League start for Chelsea against Krasnodar in midweek and boss Frank Lampard has backed him to play his part at Stamford Bridge this term.
Gerrard said: "There is always a lot of paper talk and a lot of speculation about a lot of players.
"From what I see from afar, I think Billy Gilmour is pretty settled at Chelsea. He has obviously had an injury. Every time I listen to Frank he is really happy with the player.
"He’s a fabulous little player but there has been no contact between the clubs or the managers.
"I know Frank extremely well and I know his coaching staff extremely well. I think that’s just people putting two and two together and looking for stories.
"There is nothing in it from our side but what I will say is that he is a fabulous little player and we wish him well."
