Glasgow Rangers kept some pressure on the Scottish Premiership leaders with the Ibrox side picking up an important win.

Despite his red card, Chris Sutton and BT Sport presenter Darrell Currie have included Alfredo Morelos in their Scottish Premiership Team of the Week, while Rangers teammate Connor Goldson has also made the cut.

Steven Gerrard’s side picked up an impressive 4-2 win away at Aberdeen on Wednesday in a game that saw the best and worst aspects of Morelos’s game. He scored twice for the visitors at Pittodrie, but then got sent off during the second-half after a clash with Scott McKenna.

Despite the dismissal however, he has been included in the team. And he has been joined in the side by Goldson, who made an excellent return to the Gers lineup having been sidelined due to injury since the Old Firm game in December.

Rangers remain six points back of Celtic however, as Brendan Rodgers’ men beat Hibernian 2-0 at Parkhead, with the goals coming from Ryan Christie and Oli Burke.

Christie has been included by Sutton and Currie, but there is no place for Burke alongside Morelos.

There is however, space for two more Hoops stars in the side. Jeremy Toljan and Timothy Weah both arrived in January, but they already appear to be striking up an exciting partnership down Celtic’s right flank.

So it is not a huge surprise that both men have been named in the lineup, which you can see in full below…
