Feyenoord manager Dick Advocaat has told the Daily Record that he barely saw Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos outside of his two goals.

Morelos helped Rangers pick up a 2-2 draw in Holland last night, with the striker scoring two brilliant headers, as Steven Gerrard’s side went home with a point.

The Colombian is one of the most in-form forwards across Europe right now, with his goalscoring record for Rangers highly impressive.

And Advocaat feels that Morelos’s performance actually showed his quality, as he felt he was barely involved in the game outside of his brace.

“We dominated the first half, but only scored one goal which was not enough,” Advocaat said.

“Besides that, they got two chances and scored two goals. At this level, that should not be possible.

“Morelos is a good striker because apart from his goals I didn’t see him. However, that only shows his talent.

“But I cannot say any negative words about our players.”

Rangers’ draw means that they go into their final Europa League game sat at the top of their group.

Gerrard’s men have put together a fine European campaign so far, but they will need to avoid defeat in their last group stage match to qualify.

Rangers will have home advantage at Ibrox when they take on Young Boys on December 12th, and that could be crucial.

Rangers have already beaten Porto and Feyenoord in front of their own fans, and will be looking to complete their hat-trick of wins against the Swiss side.
