Rodgers: I want Klopp to stay at Liverpool because he rents my house!

The Celtic boss is hoping to see his former club challenge for the Premier League title this season, but has some obscure reasons for backing them

Brendan Rodgers wants to see Liverpool succeed under Jurgen Klopp, but the support of the Celtic boss for his former club is based on more than professional ties.

The Northern Irishman spent a little over three years at the Anfield helm before being relieved of his duties in October 2015.

He had carried the club close to a Premier League title triumph, but was ushered through the exits after failing to sustain a challenge with the elite.
