The then-skipper at Celtic even recalled a moment he expected an elbow in the face from the ex-Liverpool midfielder - only for Souness to take a quick look behind him to see who he'd be leathering - and pull out.
Speaking to Si Ferry on his Open Goal show, Grant said: "I remember one time the two of us were running for the ball at the old Jungle.
"He's went like that, as if he's going to elbow me.
"He's looked round and I thought, 'he's going to smack me on the chin here'.
"And he went 'you're lucky it's you, Peter', and he just kept running.
"I think that was the respect, he knew I wouldn't come from behind and do him to please the fans.
"Face on, though, we'd be into each other."
