Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are currently trailing Celtic by 30 points in the Scottish Premiership standings.
Martin O’Neill has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 23rd February, that Glasgow Rangers’ current squad is the worst he can remember.
Rangers have failed to compete with Celtic during their first season back in Scotland’s top flight.
Rangers are currently 30 points behind Celtic, and O’Neill believes that Brendan Rodgers’ side need their Glasgow rivals to improve.
“It’s a great run and at this minute they [Celtic] are riding the flow of the opposition,” he said. “Rangers are poor, in fact it’s probably the poorest side I’ve ever known at Ibrox.
“For Celtic to stay strong they need opposition there, and they need it to come from Rangers.”
Celtic have had virtually no competition in Scotland this season, with no other team in the country on their level.
Celtic are still unbeaten in domestic action this term, and they are cruising to the title.
The Bhoys are still on course to win the treble, with Rodgers making a great start to life at Parkhead.
Rangers, meanwhile, are currently in a stage of uncertainty, after parting ways with Mark Warburton two weekends’ ago.
Rangers are in action tomorrow evening against Inverness, while Celtic take on Hamilton on Saturday.
