Liverpool v Rangers was at risk of being called off for this incredible reason

The riots between fans and police continue to manifest themselves at several UEFA Champions League matches, and to avoid any serious incident at Liverpool's clash with Scottish side Rangers, a large group of police officers guarded the area so that the away supporters and Reds fans could get to the stadium without any complications, with only one clash between security and pseudo-supporters of the Scottish club.

Hours before the start of the third matchday of the European Champions League, a series of disturbances took place near the Merseyside ground, and English security took matters into their own hands and confronted the offenders, making at least one arrest in order to stop any attempt at aggression against others.

As such, this is the first time Liverpool and Rangers have played each other in an official competitive fixture, with England looking to be as good a host as in their previous fixtures by providing the best of experiences both inside and outside Anfield, while being extremely wary of the visiting supporters who were reported to have been involved in a brawl against Frankfurt fans in the UEFA Europa League final a few months ago.
