Peter Grant says only English Premier League side Manchester United can match the pressures at Celtic following David Moyes’ comments.
The West Ham United coach defended what seemed to be an indirect disrespect towards Scottish football and Celtic after he was asked about pressure at Tottenham Hotspur.
Those were words echoed by Bhoys hero Grant, who after working as an assistant in the Premier League for the likes of Aston Villa and West Ham United, stated that he was “glad” someone of the stature of Moyes spoke up, as he told Go Radio.
The Scottish Premiership might not have the bright lights or the millions of millions that the English Premier League generates, but it certainly has two of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Perhaps if Celtic and Rangers had that sort of money, then they would be able to stick their chests out a lot more, as Grant shared his thoughts.
“I have always said it, and I am glad someone of David’s [Moyes] quality has come out and said that because I was fortunate to manage down there,” said Grant.
“I was fortunate to be an assistant in the Premier League for many years. The pressure that is on Celtic and Rangers. Probably Manchester United is the only club that plays under that pressure.
“I am glad someone like David is saying it because he has managed at the top level for a hell of a long time and been exceptional.”

It will never happen, but it has always been spoken about. Perhaps this is the only way fans outside of Scotland can understand the heat and pressure that is put on Glasgow’s biggest two.
It would be something if Celtic received the money the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, to name a few, get on a yearly basis.
Not only would they be able to attract the biggest of stars, but their chances of winning in Europe would also increase.
