Some Rangers fans have torn into Alfredo Morelos after his performance in the draw against FK Shkupi in the Europa League.

Rangers were held to a disappointing goalless draw against Macedonian side FK Shkupi on Tuesday evening – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter decided to single out attacker Alfredo Morelos for his performance.

The Gers progressed to the second round of the Europa League qualifiers after winning the first fixture against Shkupi 2-0 at Ibrox, but played out a dull affair in the return match.

Steven Gerrard’s side were unable to get on the scoresheet against fairly weak opposition, but will now face either Osijek or CS Petrocub in the second qualifying round.

The Light Blues remain unbeaten in Gerrard’s first two competitive matches, but his side still look someway off the pace and will need to improve ahead of their domestic campaign.

Morelos has taken a lot of criticism on social media for his performance, as he failed to chalk up a goal and he’s considered the club’s frontline attacker.

Alfredo Morelos of Rangers is challenged by Neil Danns of Bury during the Pre-Season Friendly between Rangers and Bury at Ibrox Stadium on July 6, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The 22-year-old centre-forward did manage 18 gaols across all competitions last season, but only six of them have come in 2018.

He will hope that his good form for the Ibrox club is just around the corner and that he can rediscover his best goalscoring touch.

However, some Rangers fans are stating that he doesn’t deserve a place in the starting XI and one even suggested the Scottish giants sold him this summer.

Here is some of the reaction to Morelos’ latest performance:
