Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos took his goal tally to 23 for the campaign with a brace in last night’s 4-2 win over Aberdeen.

The Colombian striker netted two well-taken goals in the victory, which handed boss Steven Gerrard his first win over the Dons in four attempts.

Morelos ensured a negative end to the night on a personal level when he was sent-off.

The 22-year-old was dismissed after stamping on defender Scott McKenna in the second half.

It represented a real shame for Morelos who had stepped up, when it mattered, for his team yet again.

There seems to be a real issue the striker’s discipline at the moment.

Last night was Morelos’ fourth red card of the season – three of which have come against Aberdeen!

Following the game, Gerrard told the Daily Record, that Morelos won’t achieve his dream of playing at the very top if he doesn’t curb his fiery temper.

The Gers boss said: ” For Alfredo to get to the next level and move in his career, and for people to trust him, he does have to channel his aggression.

“But I’m doing everything in my power to help the kid grow as a footballer and as a person.”

It was a real case of the good, the bad and the downright ugly for Morelos, on an otherwise stunning night for Rangers.

Morelos’ goals this season have given Rangers a genuine tilt at wrestling the title from Celtic’s clutches.

He is no use to his team-mates, however, when he is sat in the stands.

Jermain Defoe will be chomping at the bit to do well in his absence and Morelos now has another fight on his hands…to win his place back!
