'Worst of fake news' as MP Pat McFadden described as Rangers fan
It is something that every football fan dreads to hear – being accused of supporting your hated rivals.
Ask any Wolves fan if they support the Baggies, or call a Villa fan a Bluenose, and the response is not likely to be pleasant.
So it is hardly surprising that lifelong Celtic fan Pat McFadden was left bemused when he was approached at a recent event and questioned about his love of Old Firm rivals Glasgow Rangers.
It turns out the Wikipedia page of the Glasgow-born Wolverhampton South East MP had been doctored to claim: "He is a supporter of The Rangers Football Club."
The Wiki error has now been rectified to reflect the MP's devotion to The Bhoys, who he has been following since he was a wee bairn.
Labour MP Mr McFadden, who was in Glasgow last month to see Celtic beat Ross County, said: "If ever there was an example that you shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet, then this is it.
"It was the worst of fake news. Next they'll be saying I don't like Springsteen."
The rivalry between Celtic and Rangers goes back more than 130 years and is considered one of the fiercest in world football.
