Pundit Tam McManus was left stunned by Martin O'Neill's verdict on Celtic's loss to Rangers.

The Parkhead boss suggested there wasn't much between the two sides in the 1-0 loss to their city rivals.

McManus was stunned by the statement as he claimed Rangers "BATTERED" Celtic.

Posting on X, McManus wrote: "Wow. That can’t be a real quote.

"Rangers BATTERED Celtic or was i watching a different game".

O'Neill had said:

"I don't think there was very much between the teams.

"We should have created more. We just couldn't make the chances.

"It might have been one of those days. Some of our build-up play was really good, and then the final ball lets you down, but that is probably about it.

"I didn't think there was much between the teams, they took their chance and we didn't capatalise on whatever we tried to do.

"In terms of effort, can't complain whatsoever, not at all."
