Liverpool Legends squad announced with Steven Gerrard and other major returns confirmed

Steven Gerrard will be the star attraction at Anfield on Saturday, after Liverpool's squad for their legends match against Celtic was confirmed.

Champions League winner Gerrard will be joined in Sir Kenny Dalglish's side by four other heroes from that famous 2005 night in Istanbul, with Jerzy Dudek, Sami Hyypia, Djibril Cisse and Luis Garcia all included in the 20-man selection.

But there is no Jamie Carragher, after the Sky Sports pundit withdrew from the squad, as well as centre-back Daniel Agger.

Another Champions League winner has made the shortlist with Steve McManaman included in the team as well as the likes of former Kop favourites Gary McAllister and Dirk Kuyt.

Team boss Dalglish will have not shortage of opinions to discuss tactics with on the side line. He will be joined in the technical area by Ian Rush, John Aldridge and John Barnes.

Tickets for the game are still on sale, priced at £27 for adults, £7 for juniors and £17 for over 65s and are available to buy here. Liverpool has confirmed that one-hundred per cent of the proceeds raised will support a range of LFC Foundation's and partner charities' programmes, including schools, inclusive sports, social action, health and wellbeing, and food poverty.

The match gets underway at 3pm on Saturday, March 25 and will be shown live on the club's Facebook and YouTube channels.
