Rangers have been urged to sell Alfredo Morelos.
Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is paying dearly for his red card in the Old Firm derby.
He faces a four game ban, and an internal punishment from Rangers.
There have even been calls from pundits for Rangers to sell Morelos.
Chris Sutton is predictably a leading figure. He told BBC Sport it’s time for Rangers to sell the striker.
Comments like these should be treated with suspicion.
Morelos is Rangers’ top scorer. Sutton is a notoriously pro-Celtic analyst. Of course he would be keen for Rangers to sell a player with his record.
Morelos has not managed to control his temperament in big games. It is obviously a concern for Rangers, but it remains something they think they can fix.
Celtic fan Sutton would prefer Rangers cut ties with Morelos before they ‘fix’ him.
Morelos has netted 29 goals for Rangers in all competitions this season.
None have come against Celtic. But what if he cures his biggest weakness? What if he learns to focus, and starts scoring against Celtic?
There’s a reason Sutton is calling for Rangers to get rid of Morelos, and that’s because it would strengthen Celtic and weaken their rivals.
Rangers need to set an example to Morelos and keep a calm head surrounding the situation.
