Liverpool news: Sir Kenny Dalglish has secret role in Jurgen Klopp’s training sessions

Sir Kenny Dalglish remains a big influence at Liverpool and even gets involved in the club’s training sessions.

That’s according to Reds youngster Liam Millar, who reveals the Kop legend often steps in to help players with their finishing.

Sir Kenny, widely regarded as Liverpool’s greatest ever player, is a non-executive director at the club and has a stand named after him at Anfield.

He was central to one of the most successful periods in the club’s history, winning six top-flight titles and netting 172 times during a glittering playing career.

The Scot also enjoyed great success as the club’s manager in the 1980s and returned for a second, less triumphant spell between 2011 and 2012.

He remains a regular visitor at Melwood, and Millar, who recently completed a loan move to Kilmarnock, claims the legendary striker is still sharing his wisdom on the training ground.

“Kenny Dalglish gets involved in our sessions every now and then. He helps us with our finishing and stuff,” he told the Sunday Post.

“I’ve trained with the first-team at Liverpool now and again.

“The front three is unbelievable, it’s amongst the best in the world and that makes it so hard to break in.”

Millar, the 19-year-old forward, was also given a personal seal of approval from Sir Kenny, who recommended him to Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke.

“I’ve heard a lot of good things about Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke from people at Liverpool,” he added.

“Kenny Dalglish was the one who recommended me to him, which is not too bad!

“Everyone says he gets the best out of you and that’s what Steven Gerrard did with me last season.

“Getting first-team football is really important to develop as a young player.”
