Graeme Souness: ‘If Rangers spend £50m on transfers they’ll be on even keel with Celtic’
Souness reckons there’s not much between the sides and three or four quality players could make the difference
Graeme Souness has made a big Rangers claim
Graeme Souness has made a big Rangers claim
Graeme Souness has doubled down on his claim there isn’t a huge gulf between Celtic and Rangers – but says Gers would need to spend £50million to get back on an even keel.
The Ibrox hero reacted to last weekend’s latest derby defeat to the Hoops by admitting there IS a gap between the two sides but not one that is as big as he believes has been made out by others. He insisted there wasn’t a lot between the two rivals last year and says the Light Blues weren’t completely blown out of the water this time either.

And Souness went on to vow that the tide WILL change and his old club will get back on top, like they were when he was around. He’s made similar comments again but this time did admit his old club would need to spend big.

Daizen Maeda picked as Premier League star’s worst nightmare as he’d ‘HATE’ to face Celtic favouritefootballscotland
He told Three Up Front, William Hill’s podcast: “Right now, there is gap between Rangers and Celtic, but it’s not insurmountable. Three or four quality signings could make the difference, but Rangers don’t have the money right now.
“If they were to spend £50 million, it’d be nip and tuck between the two of them. Rangers were the same as Liverpool last season, both could have won the league if they’d won the last ten games, and neither of them did it.

“Celtic were the better team, I’m not denying that, I just didn’t think that Rangers got pummelled in the Old Firm derby. Jack Butland only had two saves to make, although he did need to pick the ball out of the net three times. Two more shots on target all game, is that a suggestion they were on the back foot? No. That said, Celtic have better strikers than Rangers do right now.”
“Losing yet again is a really bitter pill to swallow for Rangers. But, I have been in football a long time and I know how quickly things change. There was a time where Celtic won nine titles in a row, and the Rangers fans would have been thinking, ‘this is it, we’re never going to win again’. They did come back, though, and then they went on to win nine in a row.
“Rangers just need money now. They finished second last year and spent £14 million on new players, Celtic spent double that and they won the league. They still managed to come second against them despite spending half the money. They just need an influx of money, that’s all it is.”
