Sir Kenny Dalglish: Celtic, Liverpool & Scotland Legend ⚽

The King has arrived on The Warm-Up. Sir Kenneth Dalglish joins Kris Boyd, Steven Naismith and the man he signed for a British transfer record (Warm-Up host Chris Sutton!) as this month’s big guest.

In a comprehensive interview, which starts with early days playing in youth teams in Glasgow and launching his career in Junior football, King Kenny talks about what drove him to become arguably the greatest player Scotland has ever produced.

He talks candidly about growing up in the Lions’ Den at Celtic, alongside the players who won the European Cup, and about his relationship with legendary manager, Jock Stein, including what happened when he decided to leave the Bhoys.

His move south to Anfield and how it unfolded is discussed before he talks about playing in one of the great Liverpool sides.

His surprise promotion to player-manager is covered, as is his time in charge on Merseyside, at Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers - where he sealed another historic title triumph.

Not surprisingly he has a few stories about Warm-Up host Chris, including how his record signing fancied himself as centre half and once squared up to Ian Wright!

Kenny talks openly about his return to Paradise and what went wrong during the 'John Barnes season' and his decision to ‘join’ Rangers as Director of Football. Or was it International Scout..?

Watch the full episode as Kenny Dalglish meets Chris Sutton, Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith on The Warm-Up.
