Ally McCoist has defended former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann after the German made comments about the Reds' current woes that prompted a sarcastic response from Jurgen Klopp.
With Liverpool enduring a stuttering start to the season that sees them languishing in 10th place in the Premier League table after eight matches, Hamann - a Champions League winner under Rafa Benitez in 2005 - called out his former side's lack of 'spark' and suggested that Klopp's job could soon be called into question.
Liverpool face Rangers tonight in a Champions League Group stage fixture at Ibrox. During his pre-match press conference, Klopp reacted with annoyance to a question related to Hamann's claim. In response the Anfield boss said : “Who said that? Oh great! A fantastic source, well respected everywhere. Hamann played for Liverpool [but] that does not give you the right to say what you want especially when you have no idea.
