Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are set to be without Alfredo Morelos, after he got suspended for a red card last night.

Alfredo Morelos of Rangers arrives prior to the Ladbrokes Scottish Premier League between Celtic and at Ibrox Stadium on December 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Charlie Adam has claimed to BBC Sport that Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos could be worth up to £20 million if it wasn’t for his petulance.

Morelos received his fourth red card of the season for Rangers last night, after getting into a tangle with Scott McKenna.

Morelos appeared to tread on the Aberdeen centre-back, who was also sent off for lashing out at the Colombian striker.

And Adam feels that the 22-year-old striker could be brilliant, if it wasn’t for his indiscipline.

He said: ”Players have got a streak about them – you’ve got to look after yourself – but the way he does it, it’s petulant. That’s the only doubt with Morelos. In any game, at any moment, he’s got a switch that can get him a red card. It’s stupidity, really. You’re talking £15m-£20m for him if he didn’t have that.”

Morelos did show the good in his game for Rangers last night, with two excellently taken goals.

The clinical finisher first hit the back of the net from close range, when he put home a rebound from Ryan Kent’s effort.

And he then put Rangers into the lead again in the first half, when he scored brilliantly with his left-foot from outside the area.

It was in the second half when Morelos’ petulance showed, and he could have put his team in jeopardy.

However, Rangers held on to secure the three points at Pittodrie with a 4-2 victory.
