Jordan Rossiter will come up against a familiar face when Scotland's fiercest rivalry resumes next season.
The former Liverpool midfielder is set to go toe-to-toe with his old Reds boss Brendan Rodgers when Rangers and Celtic meet in the Scottish Premiership in 2016/17.
Rossiter made his first-team debut for the Reds under Rodgers as a 17-year-old in September 2014 but will now plot to take his former mentor down after leaving Anfield to join 'Gers, while Rodgers was recently appointed the new manager of the Bhoys.
Former Liverpool and Celtic defender Gary Gillespie, who used to analyse Rossiter's youth team performances for LFC TV, admits it will be a strange scenario when the two square off in the Glasgow derbies.
He told the Daily Mail: "It is one of these little quirks in football, isn't it?
"I know that Brendan thought very highly of Jordan. He had brought in most of the coaching staff at the academy when Jordan was coming through.
"The feedback was obviously good because Brendan played him in a few games, in the League Cup and in the earlier part of the Europa League. He spoke well of him.
"So there is a little bit of experience there for Jordan to take onto Rangers. I'm sure the players there will like him because of he has a good attitude. He gets about the pitch, he wants to make tackles, he wants to make passes.
"Listen, he is still a young player. Unproven in many ways. As I say, he was very highly regarded at Liverpool, but had a couple of bad injuries that held him back a little bit. He has great potential but has to develop a little bit more."
