“Liverpool and Ryan and his reps… I’ve made it very clear what I would like. Unfortunately, I don’t make the final decision on it,” the Gers boss said.
“The players are loving having him here and playing with him. And Ryan’s having the time of his life. I think the next decision on Ryan’s future has to be made very carefully because, for me, football’s about happiness.Sometimes it’s difficult to find that.
“You have to be around the right people at the right place. So I will be interested to see what the next decision is on him. Unfortunately, I don’t make that.”
