Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have seen Alfredo Morelos pick up five red cards this season.

Ally McCoist has told STV that Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos stands no chance at Ibrox, unless he learns from his disciplinary errors.

Steven Gerrard has defended Morelos throughout his Rangers career, but he criticised the striker in the press after he picked up his fifth red card of the season recently.

Morelos’ petulant behaviour saw him receive a sending off in the most recent Old-Firm derby, which Rangers lost 2-1.

And McCoist claims that if Morelos actually wants to make it at Rangers he cannot keep being so indisciplined.

“Watching his interview after the Celtic game, I could sympathise with him because I knew where he was,” McCoist said.

“He has defended Morelos at times but felt he had overstepped the mark that day and I could not agree with him more.

“It’s now time for Alfredo Morelos to take responsibility for his own actions. If he hasn’t learned from his mistakes – particularly the one in the Old Firm game – then there is probably no chance for him.

“I’m very hopeful he has learned from it, but the fact of the matter is that there will be one or two clubs who will have been put off by his disciplinary record and his value will have dropped a little bit.”

On his day, Morelos is arguably the most dangerous striker in Scotland.

The Rangers man has hit 29 goals across all competitions this season, despite missing numerous games due to suspension.

Rangers have dealt without Morelos well so far, with Jermain Defoe filling in for him up front, meaning the Colombian now faces a fight to win his place back when he does return from his ban.
