Liverpool legend Ian Rush is happy seeing Kenny Dalglish finally take charge of a European tie as Reds manager.
Sparta Prague host Liverpool in the Europa League tonight.
"I'm sure Thursday night will be a special occasion for Kenny," Rush told liverpoolfc.tv.
"It's his first game in Europe as manager of Liverpool and he's certainly had to wait a long time for it.
"As a player he achieved so much in Europe. To win the European Cup three times is a remarkable achievement and he was a key part of Liverpool's domination.
"He was just very unlucky that when he was manager the first time around we were banned from Europe.
"I know he would have loved to have gone up against the likes of Milan and Barcelona, especially with the side we had back then."
