'I'd bow down to him' - Liverpool great Ian Rush on Salah eclipsing his record

The Egypt international is four-goal short of becoming the Kops' all-time highest goalscorer in a single season

Liverpool great Ian Rush has vowed to 'bow down' to Mohamed Salah if the forward eclipses his goal record.

Having netted 44 times across all competitions this season, the 25-year-old needs four goals against Real Madrid in Saturday's Champions League final in Kiev to go past the icon's tally of 47 efforts in Reds' treble-winning 1983-84 season.

“If he beats my record I would actually bow down to him,” Rush was quoted as saying by Gulf Times.
