Mansfield chairman John Radford has since revealed that he spoke with Gerrard after the match.

The Rangers manager took the opportunity to mention a number of fringe stars who may be available for a loan deal if the League Two side could get a deal done.

Radford told the Mansfield Chad: “We had a good chat afterwards - you never know.

“There are always opportunities for a club like ours to get a little bit of help from clubs higher up the football pyramid.

“We are all part of the football family and Gerrard has named a few of his players he’d like us to have a look at, so we are looking.”
