Gio van Bronckhorst's Liverpool nightmare remembered as Rangers boss set for Anfield return

Gio van Bronckhorst will be looking to avoid a recurrence of the ignominy he suffered at Anfield in his only appearance there when Rangers take to Merseyside on Tuesday evening.

Currently sitting on zero points from their opening two games, the Light Blues face their hardest test on paper as they travel to Anfield in search of a scalp having never played the Reds in a competitive fixture.
