Andy Gray has told beIN Sports that he thought Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos was a ‘waste of time’ last season, but Steven Gerrard has transformed him.

Morelos finished last season as Rangers’ top scorer, but had real problems with his discipline.

Gray was very critical of the Colombian, who he felt wasn’t offering enough to the Ibrox side last term.

Morelos has clearly made big improvements in terms of his attitude this campaign though.

And Gray suggested that Gerrard deserves praise for the work he has done with the 23-year-old forward.

“Last year he was a waste of time, he might as well have not been a Rangers players,” Gray said.

“But this year Steven has got him right, he’s been excellent this year.”
