Glasgow Rangers star Alfredo Morelos and Celtic ace Moussa Dembele faced each other at Ibrox in the Old Firm derby last weekend.
Rangers star Morelos and Celtic ace Dembele are two of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership.
The two players faced each other last weekend during the Old Firm derby at Ibrox, as Graeme Murty’s side lost 3-2 to Brendan Rodgers’s team in the Scottish Premiership game last Sunday afternoon.
Dembele played well for the Hoops, while fellow 21-year-old striker Morelos missed a good chance for the Gers late on.
Former Celtic midfielder and manager Hay has suggested that Morelos is not at the level of Dembele.
Hay wrote in The Glasgow Evening Times: “I just don’t think you could compare Moussa Dembele with Alfredo Morelos.
“Dembele just has a quality that is a significant level above and you saw that not just with his goal but his overall play.
“I have never been shy in quoting my admiration of the striker and I do believe that he is a forward who can go on and play at a particularly high level. I just don’t see it with Morelos.”
Stats and figures
Morelos joined Rangers from HJK Helsinki in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £1.5 million.
The 21-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided five assists in 28 Scottish Premiership matches for Rangers so far this campaign, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
Dembele cost Celtic £500,000 when they secured his services from Fulham in the summer of 2016, according to The Scottish Sun.
The France Under-21 international striker has scored 43 goals in 80 appearances in all competitions for the Hoops so far in his career, according to Celtic’s official website.
