Graeme Souness urges Rangers and Celtic to build SHARED stadium to unlock English Premier League riches

Scottish football icon Graeme Souness is convinced Celtic and Rangers would become English Premier League big-hitters if they built a shared super stadium in Glasgow.

The 69-year-old has been left miffed by the pair's results in the Champions League this season and now the former Ibrox boss has floated radical stadia reforms to compete with the world's best. Both Celtic Park and Ibrox are world-renowned for their atmosphere, however, he believes meagre TV revenue on offer north of the border compared to the mammoth sums in the EPL means a collaboration should not be dismissed. Souness thinks if Celtic and Rangers came together to create a 100,000 arena then it would set them up for success if long-mooted murmurings of a move down south turned into a reality.

Speaking in his Daily Mail column, he said: 'It has been a dire Champions League campaign for the two Glasgow clubs, who so far have mustered just four goals and two points between them from ten games. It is a disappointment for Scottish football but people ask me why they are uncompetitive.
