Scottish Premiership rivals Celtic and Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers renew hostilities in next week’s Old Firm in the Scottish Cup.
Celtic fans have stoked the fire ahead of next week’s Old Firm clash with Rangers by making a joke about Alfredo Morelos’s value.
Rangers beat Steven Caulker’s Dundee 4-0 at Ibrox on Saturday. Prior to the game, The Scottish Sun put out a tweet indicating that the centre-back and his Colombian counterpart were worth a combined £13 million.
And suffice to say that quite a few Celtic fans spotted an opportunity to make the same joke about the 21-year-old Gers hitman.
Morelos can have the last laugh if he helps to beat Brendan Rodgers’s side on Sunday.
The former HJK Helsinki marksman, a £1.2 million signing under Pedro Caixinha last summer, missed a gilt-edged chance to snatch a draw for Rangers in last month’s 3-2 defeat by the Hoops at Ibrox.
Having also endured something of a profligate performance in the 0-0 draw against them in December, Morelos certainly has a point to prove and eliminating Celtic from the Scottish Cup, denying Rodgers and Celtic a double treble, would go some way to making up for it.
