LIVERPOOL manager Kenny Dalglish is to be subtitled in a US fly-on-the-wall telly series – because of his Scottish accent.

Fox Soccer are being given unprecedented access to the Glasgow-born Reds boss, 61, for a six-part documentary called Our Liverpool: Never Walk Alone.

But Fox chief executive David Hill has suggested American viewers won’t be able to understand Scotland’s record cap holder.

He said: “We probably will have to do a tad of captioning for Kenny.”

Fox Soccer told us: “Sub-titling is regularly used on American reality shows as a service to the viewer any time dialogue may be challenging to hear or discern.

“It is normal procedure and is not intended to offend anyone.

“David Hill is of Scottish descent, his family having migrated from Dunfermline to Australia in 1915. He has close Scottish friends and knows about their wicked sense of humour, and he’s been told that no one has a more wicked sense of humour than Kenny Dalglish.

“David was clearly chuckling when he was asked in jest about subtitling Mr Dalglish, of whom he is a big fan.”

A Liverpool insider said: “Kenny is proud of his Scottish accent. It is an insult to suggest he should be given subtitles.”

The show will take in the end of this season, Liverpool’s North American tour and the start of the next campaign.

The club have to give authorisation for the final cut. With everything else we have been put through for the last few years, we can't make us more a laughing stock.
