Liverpool star James Milner asked about joining Celtic and Rangers; talks Old Firm derby

Milner continues to be one of Liverpool’s most important players having carried on where he left off last season, helping the Reds to three consecutive victories and bagging a goal against Crystal Palace.

The 32-year-old has been with the Reds since 2015 but his current contract expires at the end of the season.

In a recent interview Milner discussed his love for Scottish football, particularly Celtic and Rangers and the Old Firm derby.

And the former Manchester City and Leeds star has refused to rule out a move to the Scottish Premiership one day.

Asked if he would consider a move to either Celtic or Rangers in future, Milner said: “I would never say never. You never know what is going to happen.”

Celtic and Rangers are set to go head-to-head this weekend in the Old Firm derby this weekend as his old manager and team-mate lock horns.

And Milner says he is looking forward to watching Steven Gerrard and Brendan Rodgers do battle at Parkhead on Sunday.

“They are always good games to watch anyway, but there is a bit of added spice this time with the two managers going up against each other and their history,” he said.

“It is going to be hard for Celtic to continue with the level of success they have had. To do it year in year out with that level of expectation isn’t easy. To churn results out every single week is hard.

“Obviously, Rangers, with their new manager, and the other teams, are maybe sniffing a mini-crisis at Celtic. Losing two games is a crisis at Celtic.

“Rangers will maybe sense a chink in their armour and will be pushing as well. It is going to be an exciting season north of the border and will be worth watching.”

Rangers sit one point behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership table but could move to within a point of leaders Hearts with victory over their rivals.

However, Gerrard is refusing to get caught up in the obsession with beating their opponents, instead claiming his side don’t need to win any of the four derbies this season to win the league title.

“I haven’t even thought about the Old Firm game. I’m not obsessed with Celtic. I am more obsessed with being successful as the Rangers manager,” he said.

“I could lose every Old Firm game I go into and still win the league. Why should I be obsessed with them?”
