Dave King admits Liverpool vs Rangers split loyalties ahead of Champions League 'dream match'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Rangers will always be Dave King's first love. But the former Ibrox chairman’s soft spot for Liverpool means he’ll be a winner tomorrow night no matter what the outcome.

The Johannesburg-based former Ibrox chairman hopes to be at Anfield on Tuesday evening to see the club he helped rebuild lay the foundations of an unlikely Champions League revival against Jurgen Klopp’s glittering Premier League outfit.

But given the Reds have long been his bit on the side, split loyalties mean King can’t lose. That's not a statement Rangers can make with any confidence given they’ll be up against a club who have conquered Europe six times and have a salary budget three times the size of the Ibrox wage bill.

But if King is to see his beloved Light Blues beaten, then let it be to the other side he grew up supporting. The ex-Gers supremo - a regular in the Anfield posh seats thanks to his friendship with Kop hero Kenny Dalglish- said: “It is my intention to attend both games. “I have already organised tickets through the club, they have been very kind to give me tickets for the Ibrox game and I’m obviously working on the Anfield game too.
