Belgian side Union SG celebrate as they prepare to face Liverpool in UEL

Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise were pictured celebrating when they drew Liverpool in the Europa League group stages on Friday.

Jurgen Klopp's side were named in Group E alongside Union SG, Toulouse and LASK Linz as they begin their Europa League campaign after failing to qualify for the Champions League last year.

Liverpool will no doubt be the favourites to top the group as they head into the competition with one of the strongest squads in Europe.

However, their opponents are not afraid of facing Klopp's side, with Union SG players seen celebrating the draw.

In a video posted on the official club Twitter account, the draw is read out and the players, including Alexis Mac Allister's brother, Kevin, cheer when Liverpool are read out.

This was later followed by the Union Saint-Gilloise midfielder saying 'See you soon bro!' to the camera as he prepares for a reuinion with Alexis.

The video shows the Belgian side celebrating as the draw is read out, with Liverpool's name getting the most cheers from the players.

The Mac Allister brothers will battle it out in midfield against each other at Anfield and Stade Joseph Marien when their sides face.

While both players will be hoping for a win, it will be a proud day for the Mac Allister family with the two brothers playing in Europe after moves from South America earlier in their careers.

It remains to be seen as to whether Liverpool will be with star man Mohamed Salah for the Europa League this season as Saudi side Al-Ittihad are attempting to prise the Egyptian away from Anfield this summer.
