Alfredo Morelos has been sent off for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers on two occasions this season.
Rangers have travelled to Austria for their must-win Europa League clash with Rapid Wien.
Victory would see Steven Gerrard’s side progress into the knockout phase of the competition.
Alfredo Morelos, who has 17 goals for Rangers this season, could have a big say in whether the Gers qualify – but the hitman could also play a role in harming his team’s chances.
And Watford goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann knows it.
Morelos has picked up two red cards for the Ibrox side this season, most recently in last week’s 1-0 defeat by Aberdeen.
The 22-year-old Colombian certainly has a fiery streak in him, and Bachmann, on loan at Kilmarnock, has said that his hometown club Rapid can exploit this weakness in the Austrian capital tomorrow night.
“Rangers let themselves be provoked so easily, especially Alfredo Morelos. If Rapid just wind him up a little it would not surprise me if he got a straight red card,” Bachmann, the victim of a Morelos hat-trick this season, was quoted as saying by The Scottish Sun.
“He simply has no self-control at all. Morelos is a top striker. He scores goals and there are no doubts about his quality.
“He is the one player who Rapid have to stop if they want to have a chance of winning.”
Rangers fans might not like the way in which Bachmann put his point across, but the 24-year-old is right.
Morelos can be a serious loose cannon and the onus is definitely on Gers boss Steven Gerrard to ensure that he doesn’t lose his head. If he does, well, the Glasgow giants probably lose their dream of making the last 32.
