Ben Davies makes 'special' admission ahead of Liverpool return with Rangers

Ben Davies has admitted it is ‘good to be back’ in Liverpool as the defender makes his Anfield debut for Rangers.

The 27-year-old joined the Reds from Preston North End in 2021 as Jurgen Klopp attempted to stem a defensive injury crisis but failed to make a single appearance over a season-and-a-half spell on Merseyside. Davies was deemed surplus to requirements at the end of last season and joined Rangers for an initial £3m.

Since crossing the border, the centre-back has struggled to maintain a place in Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side due to the inevitable injury problems that come with not playing competitive football for nearly 18 months. But as luck would have it, he is making his Champions League debut at Anfield tonight - probably not how he imagined it two years ago, though.
