Jamie Carragher: Sky Sports pundit ROASTS Gary Neville about Shaqiri Liverpool shirt
JAMIE CARRAGHER has challenged Gary Neville to stick to his word and wear the signed Xherdan Shaqiri Liverpool shirt on Sky Sports tonight.
Gary Neville FAILS to wear Liverpool shirt during MNF show
The Sky Sports duo were involved in a penalty shoot-out on Soccer AM earlier this summer, with Carragher winning.
The forfeit for Neville was for him to wear a Liverpool shirt live on air.
Carragher wanted to further stitch up his Sky Sports colleague by asking him to wear a ‘Shaqiri 23’ shirt, to poke fun at the former Manchester United full-back over his criticism for the winger.
The former Stoke man added his own personal touch to the shirt with a cheeky message for Neville.

"To my no.1 fan Gary, please don't track back - SORRY - please don't backtrack on this bet."
Neville has remained relatively quiet on the matter, but Carragher has stoked up the pressure on social media.
In a tweeted sent out earlier today, Carragher said: “Tonight on Sky Sports, the man Neville is going to put this one, so he said.
“I don’t think he’s going to welch on the bet hopefully.
“Credit to Shaqiri, nice little message there telling Gary Neville not to trackback on the bet.”
The duo were appearing on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Crystal Palace.
And Neville refused to wear or even address the bet during the hour-long coverage prior to kick-off.
It is not yet clear whether he will choose to don the shirt after the game.
