UNBELIEVABLE —Celtic man Martin O’Neill drops BOMBSHELL that has SHOCKED the entire club’s fanbase as he Shares WHY Celtic BADLY Needs Rangers more than Domestic Dominance and racking up Trophies….

Nobody can halt Celtic at the moment.

Whatever people attempt, no matter which coach Rangers appoint in the Ibrox dugout, it all ends in the same outcome time after time.

And that’s Celtic emerging as champions of Scotland. Things have become so routine that, before each season even begins, fans across the board are already anticipating the Treble to be secured.

On May 24, Brendan Rodgers could claim yet another Treble when Celtic clash with Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden.

If they lift that trophy, it will be his 11th piece of silverware over two terms as Celtic boss, including advancement in the Champions League.

There’s no obvious end in sight, but Martin O’Neill believes that Scotland’s most decorated club still requires a challenge from their fiercest rivals.

Why Celtic need Rangers to be ‘stronger’:

Rangers have parted company with Barry Ferguson after the close of the 2024/25 Premiership season, as Rodgers outlasts another Ibrox manager.

But O’Neill feels that Celtic may need their age-old rivals to be ‘stronger’ if they aim to improve in the Champions League, as he told Sky Sports Football (17/05/25).

Celtic advanced to the knockout rounds of the Champions League before falling to Bayern Munich in agonising fashion, as the new format worked in the Bhoys’ favour.

And while O’Neill praised those achievements, he still believes there’s more to be done — and that help could come through Rangers.

“You are talking about now,” said O’Neill. “Chris (Sutton) has mentioned the domination, and it is domination. Serious.

“Celtic can only do this thing. It’s up to Rangers and other football clubs to be better themselves.

“My only viewpoint is that, despite the brilliant run in European football this year, I do think Celtic need Rangers to be stronger, to stay strong themselves.”

Ultimately, the league remains the foundation. Keep stacking up those titles, and things will stay on course.

Celtic are now tied on a record 55 Premiership crowns, and everyone is eyeing that record-breaking triumph next season — even if it means taking a hit in Europe.

Yes, fans crave greater success in Europe, but not if it comes at the cost of domestic silverware, because it’s been a one-sided affair for nearly 30 years now.
