The BBC pundit reckons the Light Blues are miles away from competing with their Old Firm rivals on and off the park

Michael Stewart insists Celtic are the biggest club in Scotland – and claims Rangers fans are struggling to accept it.

The Ibrox side are in turmoil as they search for their fourth manager in two years after Michael Beale was shown the door last week. Gers supporters are up in arms after witnessing a traumatic start to a campaign that leaves them seven points behind Celtic and out of the Champions League.

The Light Blues appear to have wasted millions in the transfer market too with big-money signings such as Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers failing to make any sort of impact. While Rangers have won just two major trophies over the last decade, their bitter rivals have dominated Scottish football by hoovering up five Trebles and 11 out of the last 12 Premiership titles.

Stewart also pointed to Celtic’s incredible financial sheet, with the Scottish champions recently revealing in their annual report that they have an eye-watering £72million in the bank, and claims Rangers are miles away from closing the gap on the Parkhead side on and off the park.

He told BBC Sportsound: “Ultimately, so many of the Rangers supporters, whether they would admit it or not, they use Celtic as a barometer in Scottish football.

“And the thing that is very difficult for them to accept is that Celtic are a bigger club than them at the moment; they have a bigger turnover, they’ve got more money in the bank, it means that they can go and waste some money to be perfectly honest. They don’t need every signing to hit the mark.

“For Rangers to go and compete, they need all their signings and they need the structure of the club, as Willie [Miller] is talking about there, to be in place and on-point. And unfortunately for Rangers, it’s not at the moment and the other big problem for them is Celtic’s house is in order.
