Ex-Rangers manager Graeme Souness has revealed he is "worried" about Brendan Rodgers' return to Celtic.
The Northern Irishman joined the Hoops for the second time recently, signing a three-year deal in the process.
And the former Scotland international is concerned that the move will make the Hoops hard to stop.
Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: "Obviously, my focus is on the other side of Glasgow. I think Brendan going back, this is a worry for me as a Rangers man, my worry would be that he’s asked for assurances in terms of budgets.
"What he’s going to spend, how much he can spend because I’m sure Brendan feels that would have got other job offers back in England, maybe not in the Premier League but certainly the top end of the championship.
"So it worries me slightly that he’s gone back there for that fact on that promises will have been made to him which is about budgets how much you can spend and that ain’t good news for Rangers."

Meanwhile, Celtic starlet Tobi Oluwayemi's loan spell at Cork City has ended after an injury-stricken six months.
This is according to a report from the Irish Mirror which states the youngster has returned to Parkhead.
The 20-year-old joined the Irish Premier Division side in January on a deal that lasted until the end of June but he has struggled to make an impact.
He made just two appearances during his time away from the Hoops, including making a major error on his debut against Bohemians in which he fumbled the ball into the net.
In the following fixture, a 2-0 defeat to Derry City, the goalkeeper suffered a groin injury which has kept him out for the rest of the campaign.
Capped for England at every international age group up until U20s, Oluyayemi joined the Scottish champions in 2019 and became an integral part of the B team set up at the club before his loan spell.
