Fulton recalls his Anfield memories as he aims to put one over old clubmates

Hamilton goalkeeper Ryan Fulton will enjoy a trip down memory lane when Rangers visit today.

The 24- year- old, pictured, came through the youth system at Liverpool with Rangers winger Ryan Kent and trained alongside Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard before loan spells at Portsmouth and Chesterfield preceded a move to Hamilton in 2017.

Recalling fond memories of both men, the former Scotland Under- 21 international said: “Gerrard was everyone’s hero. He’s that sort of player and guy. I know him on a personal level from training and he was great, wholly supportive. I was third choice there, so I was in there daily with the first team and travelled with them. I g ot on wit h Gerrard. He was great to learn from. Any questions, anything you wanted, you could always approach him about everything.

“He was a l ways d e s - tined for a managerial job. I didn’t really see him being up here, but he has done a great job.

“I c a me u p t h r o u g h t h e youths wit h Ryan Kent and we had a good connecti on. We pl ayed the majority of years together and I still stay in touch with him. “He was definitely one of the stand- outs. We had Ryan on one wing and Harry Wilson on the other. You see both of them are having great careers so far and I hope they keep going with it.”

Fulton, though, is keen to get one over Rangers, whom they beat 1- 0 at Ibrox last March.

He said: “We need to believe in ourselves and we did that last season. We know they will have more possession, but we need to be defensively solid and make sure if we can get our chance we take it.”
