Writer Phillip Cooney criticizes former Rangers manager Graeme Souness for warning Celtic about their transfer spending and claiming Rangers hold a psychological edge in the title race. In an interview with The Rangers Review, Souness claimed Derek McInnes' side had planted a seed of doubt in Celtic's minds and argued that clubs can always find money for the right players.
