Celtic fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to comments made by Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos about scoring against the Hoops.

Morelos missed a very good chance late in the Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox last month.

Brendan Rodgers’s side won that Scottish Premiership game 3-2 and effectively killed the Gers’ chances of competing for the league title this season.

Rangers striker Morelos has said that he wants to score against Celtic when the two sides face each other in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup later this month.

The Daily Record has quoted the Colombian striker as saying: “But scoring a goal in an Old Firm game is debt I owe to the fans.

“I have spoken to my family and told them I promise I will score in the next game against Celtic and dedicate it to them.

“The fans come up to me and tell me if I score against Celtic they will get a tattoo with my name on it!”

Morelos has been on the books of Rangers since the summer of 2017 when he joined from HJK Helsinki for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £1.5 million.

The 21-year-old Colombian striker has scored 13 goals and provided five assists in 30 Scottish Premiership matches for Rangers so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
