Souness branded a ‘d***’ in astonishing outburst from ex-player Hugh Burns

[ayrshireranger 8,056]

GRAEME SOUNESS has been branded a 'd***' by former Rangers defender Hugh Burns over his choice of footwear on Sky Sports.

'The former Light Blues stopper was quickly shipped out on loan to Hamilton Accies before joining Hearts on a permanent deal a year later following Souness' arrival at Ibrox in 1986.

Burns, who made over 50 appearances for the Ibrox side, is more recently known for his viral commentary of 'What's the goalie doin Tom?' while working on Rangers TV.

His passionate outburst followed Moussa Dembele's lobbed effort over Wes Foderingham to bring celtic level in the 3-2 Ibrox classic in 2018.

And his latest comments about Souness are likely to prove unpopular.

The pundit was discussing plimsoll shoes on the Talking Football Show when he interrupted host Bill Young and fellow guest Gordon Young to take aim at his former Ibrox gaffer.

Burns said: "I have got to say something.

"I was watching Sky last night and Souness had a pair (of 'sandshoes') on.

"He's not my favourite person anyway but he looked like a right topper."

Young replied: "What have you got against him?"

Burns continued: "Because he's a d***.'

[ayrshireranger 8,056]

Was going to ask, anyone know him/met him?. Dick like Junior says, or decent guy?

Sounds still bitter after 34 years.

[bluenoz 30,833]

Some folk shouldn't be allowed on tv. Embarrassing comments.

[Sparkle 53,573]

But would he say it to Souness’s face?

 

 

[folkestoneger 8,135]

Had to laugh at the description of him as a cult hero. Can barely remember him at all

[BallochBear 1,613]

Bet Souness is bricking it now 

[ForeverAndEver 71,469]

Someone in not liking another person shocker. A doubt he’s the only Rangers  fan to think so

[SPWF 8,230]

[LochendBilly 8,413]

Which one of the Legends is he again?

[TheKingObv 10,642]

Isn't he the guy who called celtic 'the hoops' when talking about them on RTV?

I’ve said this on here before but my Dad has still not really forgiven Souness for walking out in 91.

[Willis 20,919]

Is Souness being a dick not the reason so many of us like the guy 😂

Me too, and I have watched us as ST holder since 1982, so I watched this fud week in week out. 

[hawkeye 1,039]

Didn't Souness have to tell him to get his feet of a chair in a hotel on the eve of a Rangers game , peasant.

[gmcf 34,152]

This goes back to when Souness first came and blamed Hugh Burns and AN Other for losing 2 goals to Bayern Munich in a pre season friendly , after which Souness just went out and brought in Jimmy Nicholl .

Hugh Burns is a bear . And a good guy in my eyes 

I've met them both . Souness would be a dick in many peoples eyes away from football 

And I love them both for their football days
