Liverpool legend and Rangers boss Steven Gerrard reveals his greatest ever team-mate

Steven Gerrard says Luis Suarez is the greatest player he's ever played alongside.

The Liverpool legend appeared alongside numerous legends during a career that saw him make 710 appearances for the Anfield club and earn 112 England caps.

Gerrard, who has managed Rangers since 2018, believes the Barcelona striker stands above anyone else he's called a team-mate.

Speaking on the BBC's MOTD Top 10 podcast, Gerrard said: "Luis Suarez at Liverpool. I don't think you will be surprised by that. Absolutely phenomenal footballer.

"He is just a machine, someone who never walked into a treatment room and someone who I always felt going onto the pitch we could beat any type of opposition with just because he could do things that would blow me away."

Gerrard also revealed that Zinedine Zidane and Lionel Messi are the best players he's ever come up against, saying: "This is where I wanted to pick two. In my early days it was Zinedine Zidane. I was in my early 20s and it was probably the first time I had gone onto a football pitch and come off and been in total shock because I'd been in awe of someone.

"Just the size, the physicality, the power, the strength, skill, the size of his feet and the way he manipulated the ball.

"The other one is Lionel Messi for sure. He is just a freak footballer, there are some that operate on a different planet from the rest of us. He is my modern day Diego Maradona."

Gerrard's Rangers side begin their Scottish Premiership campaign against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday August 1.
