Tom English has hit out at Follow Follow as the spotlight turns on media issues at Ibrox.
A campaign of bans and targeting media outlets went into overdrive yesterday when Neil Lennon and Chris Sutton were denied access to the Europa League tie against Lyon.
Banning someone from the Daily Record from a Zoom call to discuss how incredible Steven Gerrard is, is one thing, dictating the pundits allowed by an approved UEFA broadcast partner is something much different.

Follow Follow and Heart & Hand are two of the media outlets that have paid for Ibrox media access. There has been some absolutely poisonous content down the years carried by both sites but at this minute they have access to Steven Gerrard while English, BBC Scotland and others stand on the outside trying to get used to a new order after decades of privilege and a near monopoly of news.
It seems unlikely that there will be any change in direction from inside Ibrox, with nothing to lose English and others could try looking into some real issues around the club rather than speculating over which club is keeping tabs/weighing things up or considering a record breaking bid for Alfredo Morelos/Ryan Kent/Nathan Patterson or Glen Kamara.
Rangers saying that pundits are a security risk. Pundits! This is extraordinary https://t.co/Ar6NtC2n9g
