Europa League final: Jamie Carragher hits out at Boris Johnson over Rangers video message

Jamie Carragher branded Boris Johnson "a charlatan" after the Prime Minister tweeted his support for Rangers ahead of Wednesday night's Europa League Final.

Johnson delivered a message to the Scottish side earlier as they prepared for their massive showdown with Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville.

The PM wished the Ibrox side "the very best of luck" but Liverpool legend Carragher wasn't buying it.

Replying to Johnson's message on Twitter, he wrote: "This charlatan needs an autocue because he’s not got a clue who Rangers are and what the Europa League is."

Johnson had earlier insisted he was certain Rangers would "do us all proud" in Seville, reports the Daily Record.

He 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."
