He might have swapped green and white for red but Virgil van Dijk still has the same contempt for anyone in a blue shirt.
In the 2015 League Cup semi-final Nicky Law was given the most humiliating of brush offs as the Celtic defender cruised forward at Hampden.
At Anfield last night it was Malik Tillman getting the treatment with the Bayern Munich starlet probably wishing that he could have stayed on the ground as he turned in another anonymous performance.

Van Dijk and his team-mates are apparently suffering a crisis of confidence, last night Giovanni van Bronckhorst gave Jurgen Klopp’s side a timely boost with one of the most timid, passive performances ever seen in the Champions League.
With five at the back and two holding midfielders spending most of the match facing their own goal it was a case of damage limitation for the Europa League runners-up.
Next Wednesday the two teams meet up again with one former Celtic defender certain to cruise through Fortress Ibrox just as comfortably as Napoli did three weeks ago.
