Let's be clear:
- Pena is a tube.
- Pena has a drink/substance problem.
But let's not forget Pena was also an £8 miles player who broke into a top 15 international team. He shows glimpses and is still only 28.
He is beyond last chance saloon, and he is clearly a lost soul with many demons and issues.
Gerrard is the type of figure that may be able to show compassion while still commanding the upmost respect from someone like Pena. Having played in a similar position, he could also help his game massively.
It is an outside shot - but could Rangers and Gerrard be the place to revive a player that looks lost to the game right now?
