The world of social media can be a strange and wonderful place, it can also be a cesspit of hate, filled with abuse from anonymous accounts hiding behind fake profile pictures.
The Old Firm has always seen conspiracy and counter conspiracy between the two sides but a strange happening occurred on Twitter over the last couple of days that has raised suspicions amongst the Rangers support.
An account calling itself “Rangers Leaks” appeared, following – almost exclusively – Scottish journalists, who, strangely considering it was a new account, followed back straight away.
Sums up Scottish media. A brief check and already several of them following a troll Rangers Leaks account…Their credibility wasalready at an all time low…now 🤷♂️😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/Tl01PLVs1X

In a blaze of glory they started to make a series of bizarre claims about the “party of four” before going one step further to “reveal” that Rangers have frequently flouted Covid-19 protocols only to have the SPFL and SFA cover it up.
Wh was behind "Rangers Leaks"?
A journalist
A Celtic fan
A Rangers fan
Now, even on the most basic of levels, it is pretty clear that Rangers do not see eye-to-eye with the game’s governing bodies, and when the account was suspended almost as quickly as it appeared, Gers fans took to Twitter puzzled at who would do such a thing….
Why on earth are the chief sports writers for the Mail and the Record along with the Rangers reporter for the Glasgow Times and the Herald following that Rangers leaks account? It’s so obviously ran by someone who’s at it how desperate for stories can you be?
