Kolo Toure has re-joined Brendan Rogers in Scotland, with the 35-year-old Ivorian signing for Scottish champions Celtic.
Rodgers signed Toure in 2013 for some experience given Liverpool's light depth at the centre back position, and Toure was a more than serviceable player in his three years at Anfield.
Toure featured in 71 games for Liverpool over his career, with his one and only goal coming in the Premier League during Liverpool's 6-0 thumping of Aston Villa in February of 2016.
The former Liverpool manager praised the professionalism Toure displayed during his time at Liverpool, and is hoping the two-time Premier League winner can do the same in Glasgow.
"I brought him into Liverpool to add that bit of experience and help two of the centre-halves there at the time," Rodgers said.
"In the big games, he was outstanding for me.
"With a lot of young players in our squad, he can really help them and he can be of great assistance for [captain] Scott Brown, who is a wonderful leader but he needs support and help around him as well," added Rodgers.
"It will be nice for Scott to have someone behind him, who has that real big-game experience."
Toure said he is excited by his move to Scotland, labelling the club as one of the world's elite.
"I've come to one of the biggest clubs in the world and it's a privilege for me to be here," Toure told Sky Sports News on Saturday.
"I am ready for a new challenge.
"I'm here to try to be ready and help the team as much as I can."
