John Hartson insists Dave King was correct to declare the gap between Celtic and Rangers is huge – after the former chairman batted away Graeme Souness’ previous claims.
King launched a bid for a sensational return to the Light Blues to replace John Bennett who is stepping down as chairman due to health reasons with former director John Gilligan – who helped the South Africa-based tycoon rescue the club in 2015 – taking on the role on an interim basis.

They have to look at it from top to bottom and see if they are doing everything right – but clearly they are not at this moment in time.”
