Rangers fans react to ridiculous Celtic fan-led Gerrard Covid-19 rumour

Desperate Celtic fans have had Rangers supporters in stitches as they make completely unfounded and false claims about Ibrox gaffer Steven Gerrard breaching Covid-19 restrictions.

Several Celtic Twitter accounts have been levelling the accusations against the Gers gaffer for reasons which genuinely appear to revolve around Gary McAllister taking press conferences.

McAllister took the press conferences ahead of the 3-0 win against St. Johnstone last week and the weekend’s 1-0 win over Hibs in a change from regular Ibrox programming.

As a result, it’s had some Celtic fans putting 2 + 2 together and getting 55.

The bonkers accusations have been popping up on Twitter as desperate Celtic fans scrape the barrel and look for anything, anything at all, which could derail Rangers’ season.

These claims also come despite Steven Gerrard being pictured in Rangers training with there being absolutely no official suggestion that the Gers gaffer breached protocols.

Naturally, Rangers fans have been a mixture of bemused and buckled as they responded to these claims on Twitter:

Desperate accusations of Covid-19 breaches aren’t the only whacky conspiracies being dreamt up by Celtic fans this week as we hurtle towards Saturday’s Old Firm.

Some Celtic fans – and even one of their ex-players – has called on referees to be “brave enough” to award penalties against Rangers.
