But he may have another sensation in his bowels when the task of bringing down Celtic starts next season.

The Hoops will be looking to win the league for the eighth year in a row and will be led by Gerrard's former Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers.

Their social media team appear equally on top of things too, judging by what they tweeted just minutes after Gerrard's arrival.

A photo posted from the club's official account showed a beaming Rodgers holding a bottle of champagne with the message: "Magnificen7."
