Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney mock Southampton's Spygate scandal | OneFootball

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have reignited Wrexham’s rivalry with Southampton, releasing a tongue-in-cheek video about Spygate before the Saints visit the Racecourse Ground on Saturday.

Goal.com reports that the skit on Wrexham’s X account mocked last season’s training-ground espionage, which led to Southampton being removed from the play-off final and docked four points after an intern spied on Middlesbrough.

Reynolds appears from behind a tree to riff on privacy in what doubles as a nod to shirt sponsor Firefox. McElhenney joins to discuss how clubs might stop prying eyes.

They touch on internet safety and joke about searching for how to run a football club, then say privacy matters everywhere. Middlesbrough, Oxford United and Ipswich Town are name-checked, and the 59-second clip ends with a phone showing a Southampton pickleball practice.

Manager Phil Parkinson is keeping focus on the game. He notes Wrexham, who finished seventh, were the side most affected by the play-off reshuffle after Southampton’s disqualification, but says the club accepted the EFL decision and moved on.

Southampton arrive ninth on 10 points, three ahead of Wrexham in 19th. The Saints won 5-1 at the Racecourse in April.
