Former Liverpool midfielder Jordan Rossiter has spoken of being likened to Reds legend Steven Gerrard.

Rossiter has just been released by Gerrard at Rangers.

Reflecting on his time at Anfield to The Athletic, Rossiter insists he felt no added pressure from the high expectations placed on him.

“No, I never saw it like that," he said. "For legends of the club to say positive things about me was great to hear. It showed that they rated me highly but I never felt under any extra pressure or anything like.

"I never got carried away by it either. I was just thinking, 'Next Steven Gerrard? If I have 10 per cent of the career Steven Gerrard has had then I will have had a great career'."
