From youngsters Niall McGinn and Si Ferry through to Ramon Vega and Harald Brattbakk there was one particular reason for being in Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.
A kick about at Anfield holds various attractions but playing in front of a lively travelling support isn’t on offer every weekend as the Legends get on with life post-Celtic.
Whether they are involved in coaching, the media or even flying planes like Brattbakk the days of being roared on and cheered by the fans is becoming a more and more distant memory.
Well this was all about charity ! Over 4000 traveled. Sure there was some booing about some ex Rangers players. Happens at every event. One man made an absolute arse of himself and came very close to causing a riot.Him trying to justify his reaction afterwards was a poor show. pic.twitter.com/3E5RYCZxLY

The songs and chants of the support evolve, Kieran Tierney was probably first to cultivate the post-match rolling cheer with his mates in the Green Brigade but Kyogo Furuhashi is the current orchestrator with Oh Hyeon-gyu an enthusiastic assistant.
Saturday’s result wasn’t what was wanted, some dubious decisions from an assistant referee ensured that there wasn’t even a consolation goal but as they return back to life as former players this week there are some fresh memories for the Legends to draw on.
