Souness won't back down but an opponent in the green corner wants him to think again
Former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has strongly rejected the notion Rangers are in position to compete with Celtic as he warned Graeme Souness he's deluding himself.
The Rangers icon has sparked fierce debate after reeling off a series of stats which he insists proves Sunday's 3-0 win for Brendan Rodgers' side in the first derby clash of the season. Celtic have won 12 of the past 13 titles, however, Souness – who also concedes four signings totalling £50m are needed – refuses to throw in the towel in the battle to knock Celtic off their perch.
But O'Neill – visibly mystified when hearing Souness' take – has told the Ibrox legend to rethink his opinions on what the team he loves must do to end the dominance of their ultimate rivals. Speaking to talkSPORT, O'Neill said: "Graeme is deluding himself, absolutely. Because there is a gap. There’s a chasm between them.
