Jurgen Klopp has seen enough Rangers vs Celtic games to know the atmosphere at Ibrox on Wednesday night will be electric and didn’t need Andy Robertson to warn him.
The Scotland captain is back in the Liverpool squad for the Champions League blockbuster at Ibrox. The Reds won 2-0 at Anfield last midweek before going down 302 to Arsenal at the weekend. They're now in Glasgow and could end the Light Blues’ slim hopes of making it out of Group A with victory in Govan.
Not that Klopp thinks it’s going to be an easy night’s work for his side. He knows the prospect of a full Ibrox is a vastly different one for his team than it was playing on home soil seven days ago. He’s only watched the Old Firm fixture on TV, but knows the reputation of Rangers fans and that they can bring the noise at the flick of a switch, and will remind his players to be ready for that before kick-off. “He doesn’t have to,” Klopp replied when asked if Robertson had been in his ear. “ I don’t know how many Old Firm games I’ve seen - okay only on television - but when both fan groups were allowed, I love this game atmosphere-wise.
