The two Liverpool players are big fans of Brendan Rodger’s Celtic side.

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp spoke exclusively to CelticFC.net, ahead of September 8th’s ‘Match For Cancer’ charity game against a Stiliyan Petrov select team managed by Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, and named the two Reds players who are obsessed with watching every Hoops match on television.

Celtic have one of the biggest worldwide followings in the game, but it is perhaps surprising that two Liverpool players are keen admirers of Brendan Rodgers’ side.

The Hoops have won the last seven league titles, and are being heavily tipped to make it eight in a row this term.

Klopp sat down for an exclusive interview with CelticFC.net, and shared how two of his players are always watching the Glasgow giants in action:

“I have two members of my team at the moment who are always glued to the TV at our training ground when Celtic play, in Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson. Virgil is an ex-Celtic player, of course, but Robbo is just a massive, massive Celtic fan.”

Celtic face Rangers in the first Old Firm derby of the season at the weekend, and with Liverpool playing on Saturday, the Reds duo will surely be glued to the TV come midday on Sunday.
