Rangers manager Mark Warburton has highlighted to The Daily Record two Celtic players who he rates highly.
The Gers will take on Old Firm rivals Celtic at Hampden Park in Glasgow in the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Warburton has highlighted the difference in budget between the two Scottish giants at the moment.
The Rangers manager has also praised Celtic for signing Scott Sinclair and Moussa Dembele in the summer transfer window.
The Bhoys recruited winger Sinclair from Aston Villa in the summer transfer window, while forward Dembele joined Brendan Rodgers’s side after leaving Fulham at the end of the 2015-16 season.
“In terms of budget, I would imagine the gap is two or three times,” Warburton told The Daily Record.
“They are playing in the Champions League, gaining valuable European experience and they have a very good squad packed with international players.
“They have added some very good attacking individuals in Scott Sinclair and Moussa Dembele and they are proven young talents.”

Sinclair and Dembele have proved to be good signings for Celtic, who are going strong in the Scottish Premiership at the moment.
The Hoops are at the top of the league table at the moment with 22 points from eight matches, four points clear of second-placed Aberdeen with a game in hand.
Rangers currently find themselves fourth in the table with 15 points from nine games and are very much in the race for the title this season.
