Celtic fans throw BOTTLES and coins at Steven Gerrard after the ex-Rangers boss scores a penalty in a charity match at Anfield... which the Liverpool legend celebrated right in front of the away end

Steven Gerrard scored a penalty for Liverpool Legends at Anfield - and the ex-Rangers boss was pelted with objects from the travelling Celtic fans.

Gerrard's penalty for the hosts opened the scoring in the charity match after 38 minutes of action, and he gleefully celebrated the goal in front of the fans cheering on Celtic Legends.

The travelling Hoops supporters made their feelings towards the former manager of their cross-city rivals known, by throwing items including bottles and coins in the direction of the celebrating Liverpool players.

Martin Skrtel was brought down by a Celtic Legends player in the penalty box after a smart move forward in the first half, and Gerrard, 42, stepped up to send Artur Boruc the wrong way from 12 yards out.
