Trolls accused Hayley McQueen of backing Rangers after a group of Hoops fans were unhappy with Sky's Coverage of a recent match.

He was a childhood Rangers fan I believe but it’s so narrow minded to think I’d HAVE to support either Glasgow club, I just don’t. I was born in Manchester & am a United fan, my hometown team Middlesbrough is also close to my heart.
