Martin O'Neill wants Rangers and Celtic in Premier League

Martin O'Neill has backed proposals which could see his former club Celtic and Rangers becoming part of a revamped Premier League.

The League are due to discuss the possibility of extending to two divisions - and adding the two Scottish sides - this summer.

And Aston Villa boss O'Neill believes the duo would become "monumental players" if the move went through.

O'Neill said: "They would enhance the Premier League. Glasgow is a phenomenal football city. Celtic house 60,000 fans and Rangers house 50,000 fans every game. If they joined they would eventually get to the top and end up as monumental players in the Premier League."
