Old tweet from Liverpool stand-in boss emerges ahead of crucial Newcastle clash - with Reds coach set to step into the dugout after Arne Slot's ban

An old tweet from Johnny Heitinga has gone viral after the Liverpool coach previously claimed that is 'always a blue'.

Heitinga will lead Liverpool for their clash against Newcastle on Wednesday after both Arne Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff were handed two-match touchline bans.

Slot and Hulshoff were charged by the Football Association in the aftermath of the 2-2 draw and alleged of improper conduct and/or use of foul language towards the referee Michael Oliver.

The pair were shown red cards for their protests at the end of the match which saw a brawl break out among players.
