Graeme Souness "completely bottled" declaring his backing for Rangers or Liverpool when the pair collide in the Champions League.
The 69-year-old is a legend at both Anfield and Ibrox and confessed his loyalties are being severely tested after Thursday's group stage draw threw up a tie for the ages. The clubs have never met in European competition and the prospect of a historic double header is being eagerly anticipated in Glasgow and on Merseyside.
But Souness, who played for and managed both teams in trophy-laden eras in the 1980s and 1990s, simply couldn't choose between the two when asked who he was backing. Instead, the former midfielder and now Sky Sports pundit opted for a seat on the fence - declaring both matches would end in a draw and the two sides would progress to the knockout stage. Souness told talkSPORT: "It's still fresh going into the draw how well Rangers did the other night in managing to get through. I thought it would be a step too far for them - 2-2 at home is not a great result when you have to go back and play the second.
