BT Sport pundit shares why Rangers boss Gerrard was angry at Morelos at Ibrox on Thursday, despite win
that Rangers boss Steven Gerrard was fuming with Alfredo Morelos, despite Thursday’s win at Ibrox.
The Gers eased to a 2-0 win over Danish side Brondby at Ibrox, thanks to goals from Leon Balogun and Kemar Roofe. A crucial three points.
The win hands Rangers a chance of qualifying from the group – after losing their opening two matches to Lyon and Sparta Prague this season.
For Morelos, it was a tricky night. Coming into the match, the Colombia international had scored five goals in 15 – with criticism coming his way.
In search of his 100th club goal for Rangers – he was taken off on 70 minutes and replaced by Fashion Sakala. Craigan explained why Gerrard was angry.
Watching on as co-commentator at Ibrox, ex-Motherwell man Craigan said Gerrard was “aghast” with some of the things Morelos had done at Ibrox.
“Gerrard is aghast at some of the things Morelos has done tonight. I know he slipped, but Gerrard was furious, stormed back to his seat,” Craigan said.
Craigan on Gerrard, Morelos: Does Rangers star start at St. Mirren?
Morelos is going through a tricky period of form. He is struggling to rediscover his shooting boots that saw him score 29 goals in 2019-20.
But what Morelos is still doing, is dictating two centre-backs – and opening up gaps for his teammates. When Morelos plays, Rangers are better.
He brings the best out of his teammates. While he might not be scoring goals – his ability to open gaps makes him crucial for an away league game.
What is likely to be a low, defensive block – Morelos will be able to create space. He might even get on the end of a cross. He must start at Paisley.
