Bulldoze Celtic Park to flit into 100,000 shared super stadium- Graeme Souness has way-out Celtic solution

Graeme Souness wants Celtic to ditch Celtic Park to play in a mythical 100,000 capacity shared stadium at some unknown Glasgow location!

Word recently leaked out that this will be the last season that Sky Sports will be calling on the expert opinion of the former Liverpool boss.

Since leaving school in Edinburgh Souness has only spent five years living in Scotland, from the retirement village of Bournemouth his views on Scottish football have rarely been more detached from reality.

While he managed Rangers in the eighties he chose to live in Edinburgh, close to his pal Dave Murray, rarely venturing into Glasgow unless it was work related.

Choosing the lazy option of bundling both Glasgow clubs together at every opportunity, Souness explains to Daily Mail readers:

I live in Bournemouth where the club has an 11,000-seater stadium but play in the Premier League on the back of annual TV income upwards of £90million. Celtic and Rangers are huge clubs with massive fanbases and capacities in excess of 50,000 but their TV money is about £2m or £3m a year.

So there is your answer. If they agreed to build a 100,000-capacity stadium to share and joined the Premier League they would soon be top-half clubs. I would have them down here in a heartbeat. The rest of Scottish football would not collapse. It would simply have to find its own level.

Should Celtic go with the Souness Super Stadium plan?

Yes, we need change, this is the way ahead

Neither Celtic Park or Ibrox sit in areas of high demand for residential housing, unlike sleepy Bournemouth.

Souness’ suggestion is about the most detached from reality since Wallace Mercer’s attempt to merge Hibs into Hearts in 1990.

Not many Celtic fans would want to sit in a stadium that was being used by another set of supporters every second week.
