Rangers assistant manager Gary McAllister has backed Jurgen Klopp's call for Steven Gerrard to replace the German one day.

Klopp was asked recently who he thought should replace him if he ever left Liverpool - and his response was Gerrard.

McAllister, who played alongside Gerrard at Liverpool, has backed Klopp's advice for the Reds boardroom.

"That's surprising in some ways. But then in other ways, when you look at it, it probably makes a wee bit of sense," he said.

"But when that's going to happen [I don't know]. Jurgen looks as if he's going to be there quite a while.

“But I can assure you that Steven is absolutely fully focused here and trying to win something here."
