It's one thing to be adored in one football-mad city but Steven Gerrard is among a select few who is about to enjoy hero status in multiple locations.
The Rangers boss is Liverpool royalty and continues to be linked with a glory return one day to manage the club he starred for.
Ibrox diehards hope that isn't anytime soon with the 40-year-old on the verge of delivering a first Premiership title in 10 years and in the last 16 of the Europa League.
Gerrard was left unimpressed with the officiating against Livingston but did have time for a quick one-liner when asked about man of the moment Alfredo Morelos during his post-match interview.
He quipped: "Don't worry about Alfredo, he's just scored the winner. He's dancing around with no top on listening to Sweet Caroline."
The lightning quick response gained immediate traction and was picked up on instantly by supporters on social media.
Liverpool Echo chief football writer Ian Doyle noted before the Reds' game with Chelsea that the interview may have well have played a part in the pre-match selection.
He said: "Sweet Caroline now playing at Anfield. Wonder why...."
Gerrard's remark has also been keenly felt on the charts with the Neil Diamond classic surging up the iTunes charts in recent days.
