Ally McCoist has urged Steven Gerrard not to take the Poland international job if he is offered it.
The former Rangers manager is on the hunt for his next job in football after he was sacked by Aston Villa back in November.
Gerrard has since been linked with a number of vacancies and just yesterday a report emerged touting him for the Poland international position.
Ibrox hero McCoist feels this would not be a good move for Gerrard given the stage in his management career.
Asked if it would be a good fit for Gerrard, he told talkSPORT: "No, I don't think so. Scott Parker just went to Brugge, didn't he?
"I said when Frank Lampard left Chelsea that I wouldn't have minded if he had gone to a European club. I think Steven could do the same somewhere in Europe.
"I don't know if this is an ageist thing to say but I think he is too young to do an international job.
"I know Roberto Martinez did it and now he's away to Portugal, he's relatively young. I just think Steven would want to get back into the day to day."

Ryan Jack insists Rangers are determined to land a cup double this term.
Michael Beale’s side, who trail city rivals Celtic by nine points in the cinch Premiership, have a Viaplay Cup semi-final against Aberdeen to look forward to on Sunday before kicking off their Scottish Cup campaign away to St Johnstone the following weekend.
Jack, who scored in last season’s Scottish Cup final triumph over Hearts, knows the importance of trying to put silverware in the trophy cabinet in the second half of what has been a challenging campaign.
“That’s the aim for me and the team and the staff,” said the midfielder. “Since the manager has come in, he’s said we want to go win both cups.
“Obviously with me being here for a number of years, I know the demands the fans put on us to go and win every trophy.
“The boys will be ready for next week and it’s a chance for us to get back to Hampden and another cup final.
“We’re expected to go and try to win every competition we’re in. The supporters demand it, the manager and the staff demand that from us.
“But for us as players, we want to go win as many trophies as we can. It is something to look back on at the end of your career.
“Obviously last year we won the Scottish Cup and we want to win both cups again this year too.
“We’ll work as hard as we can this week and we look forward to the game.”
