Rangers are on course to win the Scottish Premiership by a healthy margin
Steven Gerrard is firmly established as a Liverpool legend, and if his squad go on to win this season’s Scottish Premiership he will go some way to attaining that status at Ibrox.
One man seen as a legend at both clubs is Graeme Souness, who won silverware as a player and manager at Anfield and Ibrox.
With Rangers having amassed a 23-point lead at the top of the table, Gerrard’s side are on course to end Celtic’s hopes of a tenth successive title.
Some, however, remain unenthused about Gerrard’s achievements due to their perception of Scottish football.
That doesn’t wash with Souness, who insists Rangers would challenge for honours in England.
Speaking on the Robbie Fowler Podcast, Souness said: “I don’t think you get much bigger and better than Rangers. Rangers, as you know, is a monster football club.
“Don’t underestimate the size of Glasgow Rangers.
“If it was a level playing field, if they had the same money coming in from television as the big clubs in England, if they were playing in the Premier League, they’d be challenging for the title, make no mistake of that.
“History has been unkind to them the way the game has evolved in Scotland and money has been introduced through television to England.
“Getting back to Steven, he’s done a wonderful job. If you go back to last year when they played Celtic, they were better.
“But they came back from Dubai very much in it, this time last year, and blew up for whatever reason.
“This year they’ve been sensational with their consistency and that’s how you win leagues. You also have to say factor in that Celtic have imploded. Celtic have imploded on the field and off the field.
“They had a difficult time at Rangers. He went in there at a very difficult time. He’s done a brilliant job but it’s not about bigger and better when you leave Glasgow Rangers. It’s a different challenge.”
Rangers continue their title push this evening when they take on Hibs at Easter Road.
