Alfredo Morelos scored a wonderful but dubious goal for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers today.
Chris Sutton has claimed on Twitter that the linesman claimed an assist for Alfredo Morelos’s goal for Rangers this afternoon.
The Colombian marksman fired Rangers into a 2-1 half-time lead over Hearts, who went ahead through a Gareth McAuley own goal early on.
But television replays indicate that the Gers hitman was marginally offside when he brilliantly steered the ball home.
Although Celtic legend Sutton acknowledged that it was a ‘top-class finish’ from the 22-year-old, he also said the linesman played a role.
It was a nervy last 20 minutes for Steven Gerrard’s side after Scott Arfield picked up a straight red card.
The 30-year-old sparked a bit of a melee on 71 minutes after sliding into goalkeeper Zdenek Zlamal, who held a Rangers shot on the line.
Nevertheless, Gerrard’s troops held off the Jambos’ pressure to move top of the Scottish Premiership.
