Steven Gerrard continued his cultural immersion in his new country by dressing up ahead of Saudi National Day.

The Al-Ettifaq manager was pictured smiling in a traditonal thawb and chequered headdress in advance of the annual celebration day, taking place on September 23.

He posed for a video alongside other men in the club's stadium in a country where homosexuality is outlawed and still punishable by the death penalty.

It comes after fellow Cristiano Ronaldo appeared in a video alongside his Al-Nassr teammates wielding a sword and donning traditional dress.
