Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says he remains in contact with Rangers boss Steven Gerrard.
Henderson took over the captaincy from Gerrard four years ago.
"It was a big responsibility when I first got the role but I always looked forward to it. Otherwise I wouldn't have done it," reflects Henderson.
"I spoke to Stevie in a lot of detail before he left and still speak to him now and again. As time has gone on, it has got a lot easier. I've learned a lot."
With Liverpool unbeaten this season he says: "I feel we're ready. We definitely have the potential to win trophies.
"I have every confidence, with the people and talent we've got in the dressing-room, that we can produce trophies in the very near future."
