Kenny Dalglish has paid a glowing tribute to Ronnie Moran following the news that the Liverpool stalwart had been admitted to hospital.

The former Reds coach fell ill earlier this week and the boss was quick to wish him a speedy recovery.

Dalglish said: "He's part of the fabric here, even now. He comes here two or three times per week to walk by what he calls his prison exercise yard, which is just by the walls here at Melwood.

"He wasn't feeling great so that's the best place (hospital) for him.

"We've been assured that he's very comfortable. Although he's not 100 per cent, he's not too bad.

"Ronnie's been a fantastic part of this football club for almost as long as he has been alive. Let's hope he has a few more years in him yet. It's great to see him when he comes here.

"He knows how much the club respect him and care for him."
