5 key Jurgen Klopp talking points as he labels Rangers 'dangerous' and talks up Scottish Premiership for scouting

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has labelled Rangers as a 'dangerous' outfit ahead of their Champions League tie at Anfield on Tuesday evening.

Liverpool are suffering an uncharacteristically below-par season so far, taking just two wins from their opening seven games in the Premier League including dropped points to mid-table outfits such as Fulham, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Everton and a derby day loss to Manchester United. With another defeat against Napoli in the Champions League, the Reds have only won three games in all competitions all season - with fans beginning to become slightly restless at their slump.

Rangers on the other hand have started the season in decent fashion domestically, with just the one loss against Celtic thus far in the campaign - although their European exploits have let them down marginally. But against a team in disarray, Klopp has warned his team of becoming complacent despite being favourites, alongside praising the rise of Scottish football in the past five seasons. Record Sport takes a look at five talking points the German gave prior to the crunch clash on Merseyside.

Lauded as the minnows of the group, you cannot fault Rangers for their effort. Liverpool will obviously represent one of the biggest challenges of their European history so far, but never say never in terms of a result. The Reds went 68 games without a loss at home before that run amazingly ended against Burnley; anything is possible.

And Klopp acknowledged as such, labelling Rangers as a 'well coached' and 'dangerous' outfit who will fight until the very end for a result.

"Rangers are doing extremely well in generally. We expect they will really fight for a result. They are a good football team and well coached.
