Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he'll be happy for Steven Gerrard if he takes the Rangers manager's job.

The Kop legend, who is the Reds' under-18 boss, is considering an offer to take over at Ibrox this summer.

“I'm not worried," Klopp said.

“If, a big if, something happens.... Steven is, was and always will be a Liverpool legend. We will support him whatever he wants to do. Simple as that.

“There is no decision. I don't know the situation is at the moment. I can imagine that clubs are interested in signing Stevie - massive experience as a player and now as a manager.

“I would think about him as well if I owned a club. One day it will happen, either here or somewhere else, but it's his decision and he's old enough to make it himself."

He continued: “As a Liverpool coach in the the youth you have quite a good bunch of players around. It's not that you have to tell them everything about football. He used the time. If he thinks he is ready then he's ready, that's how it is.

“He had a very good period at the start of the season and then we started giving players on loan, which actually led to other players coming into our squad. That's not the nicest part for a youth coach. I can imagine he will not miss that.

“If he thinks he wants to do something different - a really big if - then we would be completely happy for him and we would support him.

“As long as he is not the Everton manager or Man United then we would still help him if he has questions!"
