Jamie Carragher labels Boris Johnson a ‘charlatan’ after Rangers Europa League video

'This charlatan needs an autocue because he’s not got a clue who Rangers are'

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has hit out at 'charlatan' Boris Johnson after the prime minister delivered a message of support for Rangers ahead of their Europa League final. Carragher replied to a video message from Johnson's Twitter account in which he wished Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side luck in their clash against Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville on Wednesday night. The prime minister - reading from an autocue - said: "I want to wish Rangers the very best of luck in tonight's Europa League final. "A lot has happened to the club since you last had a game like this to look forward to. So it's a fantastic reward for the fans' dedication, through thick and thin. "And it's always great for UK sport, and for the UK as a whole to see our great teams performing on the grandest of stages. "So whatever happens on the pitch, I couldn't be happier to see you flying the flag out in Spain. And I know that you'll do us all proud. Good luck." https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1526911495908491264 However, Carragher was not convinced by the message. The Sky Sports pundit criticised Johnson, suggesting that he 'hasn't got a clue' who Rangers actually are.
