Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has spoken about how confident he is that the relationship between the Dons and Liverpool will stay the same, even with Jurgen Klopp taking over at Anfield.
Aberdeen have a good link with the Reds and currently have two players on loan: Danny Ward and Ryan McLaughlin. Ward has been particularly impressive in goal for the Scottish Premiership side, but McLaughlin has failed to maintain a starting place for the Dons so far this season.
Brendan Rodgers developed the link between the clubs and after he was sacked by Liverpool, there were fears in Scotland that the relationship could end.
However, McInnes has expressed his confidence in Klopp carrying on from where Rodgers took off and continuing to allow players to join Aberdeen to gain experience.
When speaking about the issue, the Aberdeen boss said:
The relationship with Liverpool was initially through Brendan, but the relationship is there with the club at all levels.
I think it is important we have that relationship. You never know what can happen but we are confident that, certainly in Danny’s case, Liverpool see the value in him being here at Aberdeen.
They are delighted with the fact he is getting good experience and experiencing good times as well as tougher times.
He has faced different situations that will help his development. We are confident they think Danny is in the right place.
When he first took over, Klopp did speak about reviewing Liverpool’s loan policy so time will tell if McInnes’ confidence is justified.
