Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have a serious player in Alfredo Morelos.

Alfredo Morelos of Rangers walks out to inspect the pitch before the Betfred Cup Semi Final at Hampden Park on October 22, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

We aren’t too far away from the half-way point of the season now, and few will deny that Rangers star Alfredo Morelos is having a brilliant season.

The Colombian marksman looks a totally different animal under Steven Gerrard than he did under former Rangers managers Pedro Caixinha and Graeme Murty.

He is a much more accomplished goalscorer this time around, evident by his stats.

The 22-year-old, who joined the Gers for £1 million [The Times] in the summer of 2017, has netted 15 goals in all competitions this season.

To put that into context, Morelos scored 18 in all competitions for the entire 2017-18 campaign. He is only three goals away from equalling last season’s haul, and doing it before the winter break would be a remarkable achievement.

That would still leave Morelos with the guts of half a season to obliterate last season’s total and maybe, just maybe, reach the 30-goal mark by May.

Few would back against him, going by his form this season. In fact, you wouldn’t even back against him scoring three at home to Livingston this Saturday to make it 18.
