Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are due to host Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic men tomorrow in the Old-Firm derby.
Rangers took on Celtic at the Bhoys’ home ground earlier this season, and they were beaten 1-0.
And Gerrard admits that he had to take plenty of stick when he took his Ibrox side to their Glasgow rival’s home.
“Being at Celtic Park was like going to Goodison,” he said. “It is fiery and abusive. In terms of every-day life, Glasgow is similar to Liverpool. The people are similar, you have two big clubs in the city. The size of the city is similar.
“I get a little bit of sh*t from Celtic fans, but I don’t go out as much here as I would at home, probably because I do not need to. If I went into the town centre I would get some praise and stick.”
Gerrard has generally received praise from Rangers fans so far, as he has certainly improved them since taking charge.
Rangers are preparing to take on Celtic again tomorrow, in what looks like a hugely important Old-Firm clash.
Rangers are currently three points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership standings, but a win on Saturday would bring them level on points.
If Rangers were to pick up a victory at Ibrox it would be the first time that Brendan Rodgers has lost a derby match since he arrived in Scotland over two years ago.
