Mo Salah 'needs dropped' for Rangers clash as Liverpool boss Klopp told to ditch 'loyal' mantra

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been told to bench Mo Salah as his side prepare to face Rangers this week.

The Egyptian winger has come under criticism for his part in a slow start to the term for the Reds that has them marooned mid-table in the Premier League, having been tipped as title contenders. They take on Rangers tomorrow on Champions League Group A's fourth matchday and Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side need a positive result to keep any hopes of last 16 qualification alive.

Klopp has been rocked by injury concerns ahead of the journey, with Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold and attacker Luis Diaz out of the Ibrox game. But Anfield hero John Aldridge - who scored 50 times for Liverpool between 1987 and 1989 - reckons Klopp needs to be bold and stop being loyal to underperforming stars.
