The FIFA date (with Euro qualifiers, towards the African Cup, the Concacaf Nations League or international friendlies) generated an important stoppage in the activity of the clubs at a global level, something that several institutions took advantage of to carry out preparatory meetings or of tributes, such as that of Villarreal. In that line, a match for charity between Celtic and the legends of Liverpool led to a reprehensible act.
At Anfield and before a large audience made up of both parties, the Reds prevailed 2-0. The British took the lead thanks to Steven Gerrard, one of their greatest idols, who scored the 1-0 penalty and in their celebration they attacked him without success.
What happened? The now coach without a club, celebrated his conquest with euphoria, with his arms raised and close to the sector where the Scots were, who made their position against Gerrard clear and began to throw bottles at hims. Luckily for the former midfielder, none of the projectiles hit his head.
Gerrard en Rangers.It should be noted that Steven, who played from 1989 to 2015 in Liverpool and won nine titles -including the 2004 Champions League- from 2018 to 2021 was technical director of Rangers, Celtic’s classic rival in Scotland. In fact, under his mandate, the blues won the 2020-21 Scottish Premiership, with which they broke the hegemony of the green box (it prevented them from celebrating ten league titles in a row).

Bottles to Gerrard in a charity meeting
Gerard’s answer
On his decision to celebrate in such a way, Gerrard told Liverpool TV: “In front of the Celtic fans, a bit of pressure. You have to handle it.. I’ve had a lot of sticking out of them so they can get a little bit back. There you have it.”
Gerrard comes from being DT of Aston Villa.
The Chilean Mark González (who defended the shirt of the English team between 2006 and 2007) increased the difference in the ST to give the hosts victory in a match that featured many legends from both teams.
Gerrard is well liked at Rangers.It should be noted that it was a charity match, whose income was allocated to the solidarity of different organizations, so the actions of the visiting public caused a lot of outrage on networks.
