Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed how his Scottish allegiances had to change after Steven Gerrard took over as manager of Rangers. 

The England full-back has been a revelation with the Reds and has quickly become a fan favourite with the Anfield faithful after showing off his attacking flare from right back in Jurgen Klopp’s side. 

Once upon a time Alexander-Arnold was one of those fans in the Kop watching his heroes strut their stuff on the famous Merseyside turf. And we told last month how the 21-year-old unsurprisingly responded Gerrard when quizzed on his footballing idol in a Twitter question and answer session.

And now the young defender has revealed that as a kid he had a soft spot for Celtic before recently allowing the Light Blues into his life due to his hero being in the Ibrox hotseat. 

Speaking to GQ magazine, Alexander-Arnold said: “Growing up I was Celtic, but now, because of the connection [Steven Gerrard managing Rangers], I’m probably neutral up there now.”

Trent also revealed that the funniest teammate in the dressing room is Scotland skipper Andy Robertson.

We told earlier this week how Robbo revealed that Celtic's run to the UEFA Cup final in 2003 was his favourite childhood football memory. 

When quizzed about his most memorable footy recollection, he said: "Watching Henrik Larsson scoring away to Boavista to put Celtic in to the uefa cup final!"

The Scotland captain went on to add that the Swede was his favourite player of all time and said that former Parkhead defender Virgil Van Dijk is the team-mate that he's most glad he doesn't have to play against.
