Could Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard reunite with Brendan Rodgers at Celtic?

Andy Lynch has suggested to The Daily Record that Celtic could sign Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard in the January transfer window.

Gerrard is on the books of Major League Soccer outfit Los Angeles Galaxy at the moment and has a contract until December 2016, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

According to a recent report in The Daily Record, the English midfielder could move to Scottish Premiership giants Celtic in the January transfer window.

The former England international worked with current Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool.

Rodgers was appointed as the Glasgow giants’ manager in the summer.

Former Celtic star Lynch, who is 65 years of age, has suggested that the 36-year-old could move to the Bhoys in the January transfer window.

“I don’t think it’s outrageous at all, or just another rumour,” Lynch told The Daily Record regarding a potential move for Gerrard to Celtic. “I think it could be very probable to see Steven Gerrard at Celtic.

“If he has decided to come back – and I’ve read he wants to get into coaching too – Celtic would be a perfect fit for him.

“The decisive factor could be that he is a real Celtic man. That took me by surprise when I met him at half-time during a Liverpool game at Stoke.

“I had travelled up from London with the club owners, Hicks and Gillett, to be guests of Liverpool. Gerrard wasn’t playing so at half-time he was introduced to me.

“It was him who brought up the subject of Celtic and you could see he was pretty excited talking about it. He said ‘that’s my team, that’s who I support.’

“Obviously, I’m sure he’s got a great love for Liverpool and I’m not saying Celtic would have been a greater love.

“But he was very adamant about his passion for Celtic and said whenever he gets opportunities he would come up and see them because that was his team when he was younger.”

Gerrard is past his prime, but the Liverpool legend can still a good job for Celtic.

The Bhoys are likely to win the Scottish Premiership title this season, and the signing of Gerrard is going to add an element of glamour to the team.

Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 31 points from 11 matches, 10 points clear of second-placed Aberdeen with a game in hand.
