Sir Kenny Dalglish seems to be enjoying the golden years of his retirement, as the former Liverpool star soaked up the sun in Barbados on Saturday.
The 67-year-old sports star went shirtless as he sported a white bucket hat while relaxing on his sunbed at the celebrity hotspot Sandy Lane Hotel.
Kenny’s outing comes after he recently spoke out on a supposed ‘rift’ between Celtic manager Brendan Rogers and player Leigh Griffiths, after he was left out of the Scotland starting lineup for a UEFA Nations League match against Albania.

Kenny was putting on a casual display in comfortable black swimming shorts as he perched on his sunbed in the stunning Barbados weather.
The former Celtic player shielded his grey hair with a wide-brimmed cricketers hat, as he headed back towards the resort’s entrace.
Kenny seemed to be going solo on the beach, although the star has been married to wife Marina since 1974.

Kenny spoke out on the rift between Celtic’s manager and player Rogers and Griffiths, hinting he does not think there would be any major clashes between them.
Writing in his column for The Sunday Post he said: ‘Brendan made it clear that he has a lot of time for Leigh as a person, but felt he needed to demand a wee bit more from him.
‘That’s fair enough, and Leigh has said he respects the decisions made by the manager.
The fact that the player and the club just recently agreed a new four-year contract also suggests they are happy with one another and see a long-term future together.’

Kenny was considered nothing short of a football legend during his prime in the 1970s and 1980s, playing for both Celtic and Liverpool in a staggering 21 year career.
After retiring from the sport he managed several teams, including two separate stints as the head of Liverpool, the first of which saw the team crowned FA Cup champions in 1986 and 1989.
Kenny also received a knighthood earlier this year in recognition of his charitable work, support for the Hillsborough families and achievements in football.
The sporting star set up The Marina Dalglish Appeal in 2004 to help those with cancer, after his wife battled breast cancer a year earlier.
