# Rangers: Hugh Keevins slams Gers’ media policy

**Journalist Hugh Keevins has slammed Glasgow Rangers’ media policy.**

### **Keevins slams Gers’ media policy**

In recent months and years, Rangers have moved to deny traditional media outlets the access they have previously enjoyed, instead providing plenty of content via their in-house media department.

Writing in the [Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-closed-shop-media-strategy-23974724), Keevins has slammed this change from Rangers. He said:

> *“Meanwhile, there is no vaccination that immunises you against regret. And one of today’s cup ties, Rangers at home to St Johnstone, fills me with regret from a professional standpoint.*
>
> *“Nothing to do with the game, more the fact newspapers could be denied direct access afterwards to Ibrox manager Steven Gerrard and may need to take what he says from a feed of Rangers TV.*
>
> *“That’s what happened the day before Wednesday night’s league match against Saints when Gary McAllister assumed press duties.*
>
> *“No direct questions. No pursuit of an individual line of inquiry. Not good.”*

### **Infuriating**

Whilst Keevins does in part make a good point, you cannot help but feel he is only disappointed from a selfish point of view. Rangers are one of the biggest two clubs in the land and therefore attract the majority of the country’s attention – not being given access to players and the manager is a big blow to journalists.

Rangers clearly feel the coverage of them is unpleasant and inconvenient. In the past, Club 1872 has had to [file complaints against outlets such as the Daily Record](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premier/rangers/gers-ibrox-daily-record-complaint/) following the publication of false and damaging stories. If newspapers are hell-bent on shining negative light on the 55-time Scottish champions on a regular basis, it is not hard to see why the club would be reluctant to give them stories to write.
