Morphology
This is a straightforward adjective + demonym construction: 'proud' (feeling pride) modifying 'Scouser' (a person from Liverpool), so the combined meaning is directly derivable from the parts. Although 'Scouser' is a regionally specific word, the compositional pattern (adjective + resident/demonym) is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand the phrase.
Etymology
Proud Scouser comes from Scouser, the name for someone from Liverpool, which itself comes from the stew 'scouse' that sailors used to eat. So, a proud Scouser is a person from Liverpool who openly loves and supports their city, its music and football teams.
