We’re getting more than a bit tired of the nonsense Football Insider are pushing, with them wheeling out well-known Rangers hater Keith Wyness, former Aberdeen chief, to spew absolute rubbish about our club and get it spread over the gullible airwaves.

The big issue in the clickbait media is it takes one large site with its clickbait to get into Rangers newsfeeds, no matter how fictional, and by that content propagating it spreads wings, and before you know it ‘credible’ mainstream outlets carry the same story because it’s easy and lazy.

And non-discerning fans are lapping it up, often failing to critically assess what they are reading and instead just believing and being outraged.

In this instance Wyness, who was rolled out during the Ibrox chaos to spout absolute anti-Rangers crap on a Celtic channel (yes, really), is once again being used, now by a slightly bigger outlet in FI, to spout drivel about Far East investors taking the club over.

As Ibrox Noise has explained, a takeover is extremely hard in Rangers’ case due to both the spread and dilution of shares. Because Rangers don’t come close to a majority shareholder, with Dave King the highest at under 15%, there’s no one finger in the pie that has control over the rest.

It’s a disparate group.

So for a takeover attempt to succeed, one party is having to persuade about 20 (give or take) separate parties (including hedge funds and individual fans) to sell their shares. Good luck with that one.

Furthermore, Wyness hates Rangers, he’s like so many of the punters sites like that use, Macca being another – Celtic or Aberdeen men used to babble rubbish about Rangers and get the traffic and clicks with a sexy headline.

Rangers’ Alan Hutton has also been more than guilty of indulging with FI, we assume for payment. He’s an ok soul but he should pick his friends better.

Either way, it’s yet more using of our club for traffic, but we suppose we’ve only made it easy for groups like FI to do so in recent years.
