Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers went to the top of the Scottish Premiership standings, with Steven Gerrard’s side winning again.

Ally McCoist has told BT Sport that Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos got lucky, after his celebration against Hearts.

Morelos scored what turned out to be the winner for Rangers yesterday, as Steven Gerrard’s side picked up a 2-1 win at Tynecastle.

But McCoist was less than impressed with the Rangers front man’s celebration, where he cupped his ears in front of the home supporters.

McCoist said: “We were speaking about it after he scored. There’s no point in getting involved with the Hearts’ supporters. He could pick up another needless yellow card. He’s lucky.”

Morelos has struggled with discipline so far this season, and Rangers can ill-afford to pick up many more cheap bookings.

Gerrard’s side were reduced to 10 men for the second game running yesterday, as Scott Arfield was sent from the pitch.

The Ibrox side’s disciplinary record does not make for great reading right now, and Morelos has racked up a number of the yellow cards that they have taken.

Rangers did show heart and spirit to hold on against Hearts though, and the victory was vital to them.

Rangers are now top of the Scottish Premiership table, with Gerrard’s side having played one more game than their nearest rivals Celtic.
