High-profile Celtic fan and Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson has revealed that now Rangers manager Steven Gerrard was one of his Premier League idols growing up.

The talented wing-back is one of the foundations of Jurgen Klopp’s side and a popular figure amongst the Anfield support.

Performing a question and answer on Twitter, Robbo revealed that alongside Thierry Henry, Liverpool legend Gerrard was his main man from down south.

If Robertson’s allegiance to Celtic was ever in doubt the full-back routinely discusses Parkhead legend Henrik Larsson throughout the Q&A.

Robertson won’t be the only Celtic fan who was left gutted when Stevie G first appeared on the marble staircase, with many holding a long-term affinity with Liverpool.

Robertson is now a Champions League winner for Liverpool, with the Anfield club cruelly on the cusp of being denied a first Premier League league title in close to three decades due to the league shut down.

Liverpool are currently 25 points clear at the top of the English Premier League with nine games to play, two wins from the title.
