Pundit Charlie Nicholas believes that Liverpool could be ready to replace Jurgen Klopp.

Nicholas is one of the first to openly suggest that Klopp may lose his job in the coming weeks or months.

The Reds are rooted in midtable in the Premier League this season, despite nearly winning the league last term.

Nicholas has also suggested Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou as a replacement.

“Jurgen Klopp would have a major impact on Celtic," said Nicholas, in his column for the Scottish Daily Express.

“I am not a Liverpool fan by any stretch of the imagination but I would be concerned about the possible impact managerial change at Anfield could have on Ange Postecoglou.

“Would the Reds hierarchy come calling with Klopp sitting on the perimeter of things? Liverpool aren't having a great season and by their usual standards it has been a real struggle.

“I know the Liverpool fans don't want Klopp out but what happens if he turns around and says enough is enough? Could Ange for Liverpool become reality?

“Ange will have ambitions as well. Yes, he is at a top club but would a big club in a big league have even more pull?

“I know Ange is building something special at Celtic but I do think Liverpool would have too much pull for him. If Liverpool were to look for a manager then surely Ange would have to come into the equation.

“Look at the job he has done at Celtic and the style of football he plays. Ange is also an experienced and proven manager.

“I hate to say this because I know a lot of my fellow Celtic fans won't like me saying this but Ange would be ideal for Liverpool.

“I genuinely think Klopp will remain in charge in the short-term. But there could be change at the end of the season or if Liverpool were to be bought over. Ange is a ruthless winner and I love the way his teams play the game

“I just hope Celtic can keep Ange up here for as long as they can. If he wasn't considered by the Anfield board then that to me would be an even bigger surprise. Ange is bang on."
