Martin O'Neill Calls Graeme Souness' Claim Of No Gulf In Class Between Celtic & Rangers RUBBISH! ❌ 

Some gulf in class between Souness and O'Neill

I’m am a rangers fan and mr O’Neil is spot on. I don’t care if I get any stick for it, he’s a class act.

I’m a celtic fan and everything Simon Jordan said about Scottish football is correct. Anyone who disagrees must have their feelings hurt over it. He sometimes delivers it wrong but what he’s actually saying is a fact.

i am a Rangers man. The gulf is obvious and embarrassing. Souness needs to pipe down. Martin Oneil keeps his dignity as usual on here. Others should take note.

I'll switch this off before Lineker comes on

Even though it was 2-1 Celtic had 22 shots and Joe hart didn’t need to make a save at the other end, it wasn’t a close game

Rangers manager cracked under pressure in the press last week he won’t last a year

O'Neil vs Souness, like Men against Boys!

The Big Yin called Martin A Sainted Man, he was not wrong. Completely transformed our club when he came in in 2000, we've not looked back ever since. Hail Hail!

Melt down...#1 Kenny Miller, #2 Souness, #3 Kris Boyd, #4 Onion Bears, #5 the rest of Sevco fans...

Martin O'Neill a sainted man as Billy Connolly called him

Souness has just shown how bitter a man he is and how he has lost it as he ages

12 titles out of 13 year. Massive gulf😘☘️

Sky tv deal has decreased in real terms over 20 years ,thats the biggest joke ever.

Celtic buy players for 2 million and sell them for £15-20 mil. Celtic are run in a different stratosphere than Rangers. Rangers btw have spent more money on players than Celtic in the past three seasons. Simon Jordan often talks about a two team league in Scotland. Every league in Europe is a two team league, some like Germany and France largely one team. If you want to talk about uncompetitive, is that Real Madrid that are nearly 20 points clear of their nearest rivals in Barca. I like Simon Jordan, but stick to the facts

Lundstram was hated at Sheffield United. What a pillock !

MON isnt like graeme. MON was a successful manager in his time ☘☘

As a supporter of neither, there's a huge gulf between the two in terms of mentality. Rangers look no worse in games against others but they freeze against Celtic every time.

'The rest of the league is not as competitive as it should be' is a statement of no value which could apply to any football league, sport, burger chain, car makers, lazy workers, almost anything including failed football team owners.

Its just a pity that Refs’ll fix it dont have a postal address on mainland Europe as well…

I think the worrying thing is how the quality of Scottish players appears to have gone down . If you go back to the 1970s or 80s every top team had at least two or three Scots in their lineup . How many Scots are now playing with the top 10 teams in the premiership ?

I'll just remind Martin that when he came into Celtic, he spoke up the Dick Advocaat Rangers team that were light years ahead of Celtic at that time. However, if you recall, Martin's team overcame that Rangers team in his first season. So, ever since then I've realised that apart from when Rangers came back into the league and Gerrard won the title, there is not enough of a gap to think Celtic will continue on winning the title with little trouble. I believe they are a better team and have a better squad. They probably play more attractive football. But that is this season. Teams change. And the gap between either team is now not big enough to think it can't be overturned. That's naive, and Martin knows it to be untrue.

Martin O'Neill is a legend 👍🏻

Legend Martin o neill hail hail

If Celtic took there chances in all the games your talking 20 plus not if rangers took there chances your talking only 9 that's a gulf

Sir Simon & Marty = Top LADS Proper Clobbers 💯 Facts

The game is over the rebels have won 🏆

Lol talksport throwing Martin under graemes bus 🚌 🤣

You can't spend £6 million on players in Europe and compete anymore and Celtic and Rangers ain't doing that even how many players do Celtic and Rangers have on their books worth between £1.5 to £3 million teams in England spend millions just to make Champions League football and some of them don't even make it or when they are their don't compete so it is impossible for Scottish football.

Sourness & Miller Syndrome is quite a thing, Hail Hail 🍀🏆🏆🏆

As a aberdeen fan. I agree with Simon. The money is the big issue we just don't get the same investment as other leagues. Its one of the best supported league in Europe. Unfortunately the product isn't as good as it could be.

No gulf? Fs they have won 3 majors in 12 years enough said. There is gulf on the pitch and a gulf in money available, theres a gulf in profits. Rangers need to accept celtic are way ahead in everyway.

Sadly will have to agree with Simon Jordan with regards to Scottish football. I think a lot of us up here feel very defensive about our game, especially when its lazily slagged off by uninformed pundits but the reality is its hard to disagree with any of the arguments he put forward.

Rangers: The manager needs to go, we need a massive clear-out, season after season of failure Also Rangers: There's not much between the teams

There was a gulf if it was a close league table lol , teams crumble when injuries happen

The old firm and their fans are pathetic, both living in the past, fed up of their religious and political bullshit, outside Glasgow both communities have long since moved on, iam Irish, but prefer to follow inverness calmly, beautiful people and beautiful part of the country

Stephen Warnocks interview about his time at Villa under O'Neil was very eye opening.

Souness is a freak of nature

Im a Celtic fan but its brilliant to see how riled up Souness has made them 😂

Would sour-ness have same attitude if liverpool were second to man city 12/13 years?...he be laughed off sky...oh wait, he was

3 trophies in 13 years, Celemont was supposed to be the saviour for Rangers, he came in at the league cup final so hadn't to do much work to get to a final, loads of talking mostly on one side , voices need to kept silent 😶 until the business has been done 👍.

Neither of them can win a game in the champions league. Standard of football is awful. Scotland used to have world class individual players, they’re miles off it now

Its not just the performances on the field as far as being a gulf in class between Celtic FC and Rangers ! Its the way the clubs are governed and run behind the scenes ! Its the financial stability for which to evolve and improve each season ! Its the squads available and the sell on values ! Its the honesty and integrity and openess to everything ! Its the fanbase and the respect and admiration from other clubs and organisations world wide ! And its the stadium's also ! One is crumbling through neglect and lack of funds while the other is as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar ready to grow at any time ! Guess which is which ? Thats the gulf between the two clubs !

Nice click bait... Does O'Neil even call it rubbish?

The worry for the Ibrox fans is the gulf can only get bigger as their board have made a poor job of running the club for years now and don't look like turning it around.

Ask smugballs Jordan how on earth Rangers got to a Europa Cup final recently(2022),(including a 2-4 away win at current CL finalists,Borussia Dortmund) and had the top goalscorer in the tourney,James Tavanier (7 goals) despite playing in a pub league and having no cash for decent players this past decade!

The thing is, the quality of the BPL has gone up not just in relation to the Scottish league, but in relation to every league. It's arguably the best league in the world now. But saying it's clear of Serie A isn't as click-baitey as saying it's clear of the Scottish Prem. There are massive clubs in the Championship. They're nowhere near the level of the clubs in the Prem.

I expected Farke to have an intimidating voice like Sean Dyche hehe

12 titles in 13 years. 18 in the last 24. 5 trebles & a double in the last 7 years. The financial gulf is the biggest it’s ever been. For Souness to say there isn’t a gulf is one of the daftest statements ever made.

Why do the English media feel the need to continually knock scottish football. Its not the nest but we have some cracking games in the Scottish premiership. Its not all about money and we enjoy it.

Simon Jordan spot on

I’m a Rangers fan and I have to agree that we’re way them just now. I’m actually getting a bit sick of us having opportunities to close the gap and failing to take them !!! Celtic were a mess when we stopped 10 in a row but Rangers never built on that. We were in great place after the Europa final and again we failed to invest - we’d still have got our arses handed to us in the CL games but domestically we fell apart then as well. I agree with Graeme in that Celtic aren’t beating us heavily on the pitch but the point is they are still beating us.

Ross County and Dundee sunk Rangers not Celtic if Rangers had won those games Celtic would not have won the league, if the there was a big gap Celtic would have strolled the League.

Souness is a bitter man 🇮🇪🍀

For the best league in the world,how many teams are competing in the European finals?

Rangers fan here, There is a big difference in terms of quality. When Ange came in to Celtic he spent 4x the amount of the full league. How anyone can see that kind of outspending doesnt create a gulf between every team in the league nevermind just Rangers is baffling!

It’s The Rangers

Yh there’s such a gulf in class that they need Gollum 2.0 to hold their hand throughout the season 😂

I'm a Ranger fan and I can honestly say the gulf has been there for years. Souness has the same outlook as our board which is why we've been so far behind Celtic for so long

We can all sit here n debate scottish football and its quality. Its not good. Certainly not as good as it was. Though its easy to say that from a english perspective when the premier league was raised up to god tier by 30 plus years of sky sports money. There is no money in scottish football outside of the big two. The gap is getting wider too. The rich are getting richer. Fact is only 2 maybe 3 clubs in the premier league as on par club size wise with Celtic and rangers. Your Liverpool's. Man u. Now city. The others below them might have more cash but thats it.

Celtic fan all my life & cannot abide the adoration for Rod the Tory because he's a Celtic fan , I for one couldn't care less what rod stewart has to say

The quality of Scottish football in the 90s and 00s was much better than now. Its dreadful now, Rangers have had Goldson at the back for years hes absolutely woeful, im a palace fan and Gary Cahill left us for free about 4 years ago aged 35 he was very good for us and i didnt want us to release him, i couldn't understand how a Celtic or Rangers didn't sign him, hed have been the best CB in the SPL.

"Im.stating facts" Goes on to list things, preempting each statement with "i think" That's not facts mate.

The PFL isn’t as competitive as it should be either Simon as the Top Six pull further away from the rest of the league. If the rich get richer and the others get penalised for trying to keep up this will get worse. In less than ten years the PFL will be hardly worth watching

The O/F need to join a bigger League but in a paradoxical way I think there is a growing interest in football at a grassroots level

As a Celtic fan, the quality has diminished over the years due to the lack of money which isn’t the two clubs fault. In terms of the two clubs Celtic are light years ahead of rangers on and off the pitch. However I would still have Celtic and rangers over the English tourist premiership any day. Half and half scarves and home fans celebrating getting beat 🤣 “best league in the world” NONSENSE

We can talk about the quality of scottish football all we want but we all know the money just isnot in the game. Financially scottish clubs including the big 2 cannot compete. Jordan talking about the need for more competition is a mute point because any decent young player coming through is getting picked off by the riches of the premier league. Its a no win situation.

I can't stand Souness and I much prefer Celtic to Rangers. However, I have to sympathise with Souness to an extent. The difference in points is not much, 6 points. Celtic have a much stronger old firm record this season, getting 9 extra points than Rangers. However, if you take away the old firm fixtures then Rangers have more points than Celtic. Also, even though Celtic won at the weekend, at 2-1 up against 10 men they were somewhat holding on at the end. Rangers were also the ones chasing the winner down in the recent 3-3 draw. The results are lobsided but the balance of play was not. So while Celtic are the superior team and deservedly won the league, it's just wrong to state there is a gulf in class between the 2 squads. It's this season that matters and there hasn't been a big difference.

Every english team s been knocked out off europe best league in the world champs league final at wembley no english europa final a wee boat ride across the irish sea to dublin no english

What a misleading headline. It’s nothing to do with Matin v’s Graham… the reality is that no one wants to answer the question about whether the rangers are good enough and whether the will improve enough for next season… Unfortunately another bottom of the barrel interview…

It’s the quality and depth of a squad that makes the difference. It’s about money. The English Premiership is over inflated with financial misdemeanours going on left, right and centre. Yet to be resolved, if ever. Football is too predictable, with an exception every ten or so years. Not good or fair enough.

If this Rangers team is as poor as he's ever seen, what does that say about the current Celtic team that the league went down to the second last game of the season? Shouldn't they have had the league sown up weeks ago if that's the case?

Jordan decries Scottish football. But remember the EPL teams get £100m plus TV money. The Glasgow clubs £3m. And the EPL is only a quality league because 70% of the players are imported from abroad. Probably no more than 70 ENGLISH players play regularly in their OWN league . Explains to some extent why England consistently fail in competitions. They have a very small talent pool to select from.

I don't agree with Jordan. Rangers' European results over the last 5 years or so do not equate to such a dismal analysis of their quality; their 2022 Champions League group stage performances notwithstanding. That is being objective. I am a Celtic fan and do think there is a quality gap between the two teams but it has been greatly exacerbated by an horrendous injury-list at Ibrox over the last couple of months. Celtic and Rangers are definitely inferior to the sides of 2000, but I think this Celtic side is pretty much on par with most Celtic sides post-2010. I think Celtic are only 3-4 top quality players off from challenging for second and third places again in ECL groups and the club has the money to get them.

The standard has dropped in most places, Man Utd and even Arsenal don’t have teams that would beat there’s from 20 years ago

The gulf between Scottish SPL and EPL is much wider than ever financially as is the quality of Celtic and Rangers

There is a gulf between them, Celtic have spent a fair bit of money but rangers wasted a fair bit last summer. Rangers lost the league dropping points to Motherwell, Ross and Dundee

Ain't sounnes still working with the Rangers? Consultant or something! Simon right they are poor but the Rangers are awful but it's a Moral Victory for Rangers 😂😂😂

You judge a gulf in class by the points difference in the league not results between the two, Arsenal took 4 points off Man City this year but have lost the leageu

Only one man talking sense

As a Celtic supporter way back Celtic today have a very poor defence ? Lets be honest about it as this Scales guy he should not be near this Celtic team ..as the guys very ordinary and not good enough ( Yet Celtic hand him a new 4 year deal alike what his countryman James McCarthy had received how come ? I think Desmond and Rodgers has got that sorted out between them and is not good enough ..Only Celtic do well against the mediocre sides in Spl ..And Celtic lose many goals via high balls into their box ..The club have many millions of £s in the bank now around £70m before winning this title ..and now another £60 m pounds on top with winning this very title in which hands Celtic Champs league group games ..and season tickets shall be renewed which hands many more millions to the clubs board And also Merchandise the club are rolling in it with around £150 m as seems also Oriley maybe away this Summer to Epl ? But Celtic are still rolling in many millions of £s even without player sales out the door ..and are sitting on a tidy sum and should be a good fair millions of £s put away towards some better calibre of players in need for Europe , and from goalie to Centre back them priorities are well in need . Why are Celtic board always stingy ? This Q/ when they have many millions in their bank and in a very healthy state ..They have not played game with team or fans for many yrs now regards signings ..recent yrs singings have been because they sold one of their better players and they never touched any of their millions within bank to buy odd player as hardly spent out ..When they did it was half if that millions spent which came to them via player sale/s out door only . Nothing has come out of their bank at all Celtic fc .

Simon isnt stupid is he , knows when he says anything controversial about Celtic or Liverpool the views go up by 10 -20x more

12 titles out of 13, that is a gulf in anyones book.

SOUNESS "ZIP IT" AS SOON AS YOU CAN. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Nowadays in a world of VAR and CAMERAS Rangers no longer have a friendly Ref playing for them.😊😊😊😊😊😊 Simon you are doing a Grand HONEST job.

Rangers shouldn’t have let Kent & Morelos go as they are so much weaker now. Celtic are no better but there definitely is a gulf between the sides though

I just want to say there is nothing wrong with "low hanging fruit"

Jim White says he's not a football man, he's a rangers supporter.

We took back Scottish football in August 2000 with that 6-2 demolition and its been Celtics ever since.

Martins Celtic side DID beat Rangers 6-1 back in 2000.

Yes but 1 win in 10 years at home in the CL

Rangers were in the Europa League final 2 years ago !.. Hello ! If thats how you compare Scottish football ? And the last European final where the Selik were there ? 😂😂😂

Who is the muppet in the middle.

There is a gulf but celtic are only 1 bad season away from losing a league title like the 1 of 13 rangers won . This a gulf but it doesn't guarantee us anything unless celtic stay focused

Kenny Miller and graeme sour ness are absolute muppets. They thought Rangers won the league and are now BITTER they didn't. Both of them shouldn't be on our screens because they are so far detached from reality, it's laughable

Simon using expressions from the sun "newspaper" should tell everyone all they need to know about where his viewpoints are based from. He probably still has doubts in his mind about the 96 souls being robbed from their fellow supporters.

IF THE BHOYS WEREN'T FOUNDED, SEVCO WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY WON THE LEAGUE, CAN'T WAIT TILL WE GET TO 56 TITLES IN A COUPLE OF YEARS, AND WE WERE FOUNDED A DOZEN YEARS OR SO AFTER RANGERS, HAIL HAIL 🍀🍀🍀💪👏✅️

Martin O Neill is the better manager then Souness

It's a shame how badly Rangers have been run and the coffers emptied for very poor players or board members taking more than their fair share. We dont need pettiness in Scotland we need a strong Rangers, Dundee United, Aberdeen, Hibs so that they can push each other every step of the way. That way when Celtic win the league, weve Won the league. Souness is living in the past...

Celtic didn't have their best game & won 1-0. Rangers had one of their better performances, only lost 1-0 and barely had 30% possession.

Simon you called the teams in the Scottish league DROSS . If that’s not being disrespectful what is ?
